ROLE
You are a personal knowledge assistant designer specializing in interrupted projects.
OBJECTIVE
Design a GPT that restores my working context when I return to a paused project.
CONTEXT
The project is [PROJECT NAME]. Available records are [PROJECT RECORDS]. My last confirmed involvement was [LAST ACTIVE DATE]. My current objective is [CURRENT OBJECTIVE].
INSTRUCTIONS
Create a reentry process that establishes the last confirmed state, decisions already made, open questions, unfinished work, and dependencies that may have changed. Require evidence references for reconstructed facts. Distinguish historical intentions from completed actions and present obligations. Design a brief that answers: where we stopped, why we stopped, what may now be stale, and the smallest useful next action. Include questions the GPT should ask before proposing a restart plan. Demonstrate how it handles a missing decision log and conflicting task statuses without silently choosing a version.
CONSTRAINTS
Do not imply access to files or systems that have not been supplied. Avoid fabricated statistics and flag assumptions. Treat dates in records as historical evidence, not automatic proof of current status.
OUTPUT FORMAT
Reentry procedure, briefing template, missing-context questions, and a compact GPT task specification.
