To resume a task without re-reading the entire prompt, use a snapshot replay mechanism that reads a validated stage snapshot file containing the previously completed work and recommended next steps. This allows the agent pipeline to continue directly from the saved context.

A snapshot-first replay contract is a workflow validation mechanism that prioritizes reading a validated stage snapshot file before any other task inputs. It uses the snapshot's recommended next steps and literal body to drive autonomous task completion without losing prior progress.

To validate a stage snapshot, apply a configured check script to the snapshot file's frontmatter before execution. If the frontmatter is missing or malformed, the system deterministically falls back silently to the legacy read order without generating warning noise.

Yes, snapshot replay enables you to skip completed workflow stages by resuming from a validated snapshot file located at a specific snapshot path. The system emits a canonical bilingual replay prompt using the snapshot's recommended next steps to continue the task.

If a task snapshot file is missing during workflow resumption, the system silently falls back to the legacy behavior. It defaults to the standard read order for task descriptions and planning inputs instead of halting the agent pipeline with errors.

Yes, task resumption requires a markdown snapshot file containing specific frontmatter and a literal snapshot body. This file must be placed at the designated snapshot directory path and validated by the configured exit check script to ensure prompt contract compliance.
