# Emperor Resume

+ ## Before resume: MUST-route (silent activation)

+ At SessionStart, run `scripts/emperor activate` and open `must-route.md`.

+ Do **not** wait for the client to name Emperor Time. Quote `ACTIVATION next=`.

+ Then continue below when the target is this skill (or after that skill finishes).

+ ## Resume from disk

1. Read `.emperor/state.md` if it exists. Then the latest

`.emperor/tasks/<id>/{PROGRESS,PLAN,FINDINGS,DONE,ledger}.md`.

2. Do not recap what those files already say. One line: current gate + blocker.

3. If DONE.md exists and `scripts/emperor done` still fails, you are not done.

- 4. If DONE passes and no PR, open `skills/emperor-forge/SKILL.md`.

+ 4. If DONE passes and no PR, open `skills/emperor-forge/SKILL.md` (finish menu first).

5. If nothing is in flight, open `skills/emperor-queue/SKILL.md`.
