## Context
Squad agents run in Copilot CLI sessions that can be interrupted — terminal crashes, network drops, machine restarts, or accidental window closes. When this happens, in-progress work may be left in a partially-completed state: branches with uncommitted changes, issues marked in-progress with no active agent, or checkpoints that were never finalized.
Copilot CLI stores session history in a SQLite database called `session_store` (read-only, accessed via the `sql` tool with `database: "session_store"`). This skill teaches agents how to query that store to detect interrupted sessions and resume work.
## Patterns
### 1. Find Recent Sessions
Query the `sessions` table filtered by time window. Include the last checkpoint to understand where the session stopped:
```sql
