SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill preserves your current work state when you need to stop mid-task, so you can return later without losing context, decisions, or progress.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Session Handoff Creation: Writes a .continue-here.md file containing the current phase, completed work, remaining work, blockers, and key decisions.
  • Resume-Safe Workflow: Captures enough structured context to restart the task accurately after a break or model/session change.
  • WIP Commit Support: Commits the paused state to git so the work is safely recorded before leaving.
  • Use Case: You are partway through a multi-step implementation and need to pause for the day; this Skill packages everything needed to resume later with minimal friction.
