Pick up where the last session stopped
Resume a task with its decisions, open questions and history in view. Each design doc keeps a work log with a handoff of what was done, what is blocked and what comes next, and task context labels each record by how current and how authorized it is.
Early accessPlans: Work logs come with design docs on every plan, in early access. Task context is on Team, Business and Enterprise.

Resume from the last handoff
Read Done, Blocked on and Next in the design doc work log.
Find the records for a task
Group linked decisions, open questions and history by their relationship to the work.
Judge the context before using it
Read currency and approval as separate labels, with partial coverage stated.
Hand off between sessions
Entries in the work log are marked Person-reported or Agent-reported. The Current handoff keeps Done, Blocked on and Next together. Copy resume prompt carries that context into the next session.
Cited commits are checked against GitHub when Archdocs can read the repository.
Agents read context over MCP before they start and leave a handoff when they stop. Explore MCP capabilities
Plans: Work logs come with design docs on every plan, in early access. Task context is on Team, Business and Enterprise.
Start with the relevant records
Supply a task, a repository and paths, and an optional design doc. The results group Current, Uncertain and Related records, Open questions, In progress work, Acceptance criteria, History and records found by text search.

HistoricalLineage
Records you cannot open are not shown.
Know how much to rely on each record
Current means directly linked and either approved by a person or, for a canvas doc, fresh; nothing recorded says it no longer applies. Related means connected indirectly. Uncertain needs confirmation and says why. Historical is background. None of these says the record governs your task, and none says the implementation matches.
Approval is shown separately. None of these labels says the implementation matches. Verified appears only on an acceptance criterion whose evidence was accepted under your policy.
Full record label legend
- Current
- Directly linked to the task, and either approved by a person with nothing superseding it and no open amendment, or, for a canvas doc, updated recently enough to count as fresh. It doesn’t mean the record governs your change.
- Related
- Connected through a dependency or the same repository rather than linked directly.
- Uncertain
- Found only by text search, or linked but not approved, written by an agent, or of unknown or stale freshness.
- Historical
- Superseded, abandoned, deprecated or rejected; kept for background.
- Approved by a person
- A person reviewed and approved the record.
- Ready, not reviewed
- Ready for use, without a recorded review.
- Written by an agent
- The text was written by an agent.
- Documented, not approved
- A choice is recorded without approval.
- Via a dependency
- Found through a recorded dependency.
- Same repository
- Linked to the repository supplied for the task.
- Lineage
- Connected through the history of an earlier or replacement record.
Code locations
Owners map repository paths to objects and docs. A task touching those paths finds the linked records. Paths that do not match are reported.
Access and limits
Records you can’t open are left out. Partial coverage is stated. Context comes from linked records, not from reading code.
Screenshots are from a sample workspace. Recreated views are labeled.
