continue-building

Resume work by reading the scratchpad plan files to recover task context, then checking git status and recent commits to see the latest changes. The Skill identifies the highest-priority incomplete checklist item and continues implementation from the last checkpoint.

Track tasks as markdown checklist items in a scratchpad plan file, marking completed items with [X] after each session. Combined with git history, this provides enough context to resume work without losing progress between sessions.

Four quality gates must pass: npm run typecheck with zero errors, npm run lint with zero errors, npm test with all tests passing, and npm run build compiling cleanly. A task is only marked complete after all gates succeed.

It stops when encountering unresolvable type errors, failing tests, or build errors, when architectural decisions need user input, or when requirements are missing or scope is unclear. It does not guess on ambiguous decisions.

The workflow depends on scratchpad plan files for task context, so a project without them loses the primary recovery mechanism. Git status and recent commit history still provide partial context, but task prioritization requires the checklist.
