SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? When an AI-assisted coding session ends mid-task, the next session starts from zero: it does not know which phase the task reached, which branch or worktree holds the code, or whether the previous session left the repo in a working state. This Skill reconstructs that context from the task folder so work continues without redoing or forking prior progress. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Phase Detection: Reads task artifacts (raw_prompt.md, prompt-understanding.md, execution_plan.md, acceptance_criteria.json) to determine which of phases 0-4 the task is in and what the next action is. - Baseline Smoke Test: Boots the project and re-runs touched-path tests plus previously-passing acceptance criteria before any new code is written, surfacing regressions left by the prior session. - Worktree-Aware Branch Recovery: Resolves the remote default branch and reconciles recorded worktree fields against the current HEAD, preventing accidental work on main or forking into a duplicate branch. - Use Case: You return Monday morning to a half-finished feature. You give the assistant the task folder path, it reports the current phase, confirms the baseline is green, and continues coding from the next failing acceptance criterion. ## Quick Start Say "resume task" and provide the path to your task folder, for example tasks/my-namespace-195-my-task, then confirm the resumption summary.

FAQPage Schema
How do I resume an unfinished AI coding task from a previous session?▼

Say "ar-taskflow-resume" or "resume task" and provide the task folder path. The assistant reads the task artifacts, determines the current phase (0-4), verifies the baseline with a smoke test, and continues from the next unfinished step after you confirm.

How does task resumption detect which phase a task is in?▼

Phase detection is based on which files exist in the task folder: only raw_prompt.md means phase 0, prompt-understanding.md means phase 1, execution_plan.md means phase 2 or 3 depending on code changes, and ticket.md plus pr-description.md means phase 4.

Can I resume a task that was running in a different git worktree?▼

Yes. The skill reads worktree fields recorded in execution-summary.md and reconciles them against the current HEAD. If the task's branch lives in another worktree, it warns you and points you to locate it with git worktree list instead of creating a duplicate branch.

What happens if the smoke test fails when resuming a task?▼

The resume is blocked and reported as a non-green baseline. Previously-passing acceptance criteria that now fail are treated as regressions from the prior session and must be fixed before any new feature work begins.

Can I skip the smoke test when resuming a task?▼

Yes, by saying "skip smoke test", but the override is only recorded in execution-summary.md after you confirm the resume. The note marks the baseline as unverified so the next resume knows the previous state was not checked.

What are the prerequisites for resuming a task with this workflow?▼

The repo must contain .claude/skill.config (created by ar-init-skills) and the task folder must contain raw_prompt.md. A folder missing raw_prompt.md is considered invalid and cannot be resumed.
