Built a throwaway fake GSD project (.planning/STATE.md + phases/03-auth/{CONTEXT,PLAN}.md + HANDOFF.json) and ran the procedure for real: it correctly used artifact-priority (PLAN.md present, SUMMARY.md absent -> stage=Execute, not just trusting STATE.md's declared status), loaded exactly the 4 scoped files, and produced a one-line pointer pulling the real next step out of HANDOFF.json -- versus a baseline reflex of just skimming the whole repo and writing a prose summary, which is precisely the resume-style duplication the skill's own description says to avoid.
Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works
- Installs cleanly 5/5
- Triggers reliably 5/5
- Output vs. baseline 8/10
- Docs & honesty 5/5
What MM Focus does
For GSD-methodology projects, reloads the full content (not a summary) of the current phase's working files -- STATE.md, HANDOFF.json, and whichever of CONTEXT/PLAN/SUMMARY apply to the detected stage (Discuss/Plan/Execute/Verify) -- right after the user has manually run /clear mid-phase. Triggers on phrasings like '/mm-focus', 'reload the current stage files after clear', or 'bring back stage context after /clear'; explicitly defers to the sibling /mm resume skill for non-GSD projects or when a prose summary (not raw files) is wanted. Strictly read-only, never writes to .planning/ or .gsd/.
How to install MM Focus
git clone https://github.com/mworldorg/markdown-memory
cd markdown-memory

(per-project). Restart Claude Code after installing.
Commands — how to trigger MM Focus
-
/mm-focusReloads only the current GSD phase's working files into context after a manual /clear, mid-phase
It also activates on plain-language prompts like these:

Reload the current phase's working files now that I just ran clear -
Bring back my project's stage context now that the session got cleared -
Pull the STATE and PLAN files back in after this manual context clear
Frequently asked questions
- Is the MM Focus skill free?
- Yes. The skill itself is free from mworldorg/markdown-memory. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.
- Does MM Focus work with Claude Code?
- We tested it with Claude Code 2.x (agent harness) on Jul 16, 2026. Verdict: Tested · Works. Built a throwaway fake GSD project (.planning/STATE.md + phases/03-auth/{CONTEXT,PLAN}.md + HANDOFF.json) and ran the procedure for real: it correctly used artifact-priority (PLAN.md present, SUMMARY.md absent -> stage=Execute, not just trusting STATE.md's declared status), loaded exactly the 4 scoped files, and produced a one-line pointer pulling the real next step out of HANDOFF.json -- versus a baseline reflex of just skimming the whole repo and writing a prose summary, which is precisely the resume-style duplication the skill's own description says to avoid.
- What is the MM Focus SkillProof Score?

- How do I install MM Focus?
- Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.
- Can I use MM Focus with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?
- The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.
