To pause work mid-phase without losing context, generate a `.continue-here.md` file capturing completed work, remaining tasks, decisions, and blockers, then commit it as a WIP git commit to preserve state for the next session.

A context handoff file is a structured snapshot that records your current phase position, progress, and blockers. You need one when pausing a task workflow mid-phase to ensure another session can resume cleanly without reconstructing prior decisions.

Create a WIP git commit by running the pause workflow to write a `.continue-here.md` file containing your position, completed work, remaining work, decisions, and blockers, then commit the handoff file directly to your repository.

Yes, you can resume a paused workflow by reading the `.continue-here.md` file from the WIP commit, which provides explicit resume instructions and a complete state snapshot so you pick up exactly where you left off.

Yes, phase state preservation explicitly captures unresolved blockers within the `.continue-here.md` handoff file, ensuring that pausing work with open blockers still results in a consistent snapshot for future continuity.

The best way to preserve project continuity is creating a structured context handoff that detects phase state from recent files, gathers decisions and blockers into a `.continue-here.md` file, and commits it as work-in-progress.
