What problem does it solve?

Avoid losing work state mid-task by generating a context handoff file during pause phases, complete with instructions for resume.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Work Session Continuity: Ensure your workflow can pick up from where it left off.
  • Context Handoff Creation: Collect all relevant details into a single document.
  • Git Integration: Commit as work in progress to preserve code history.
  • Use Case: When working on a code review and need to take a break or leave work for a while, this Skill can create a detailed handoff file, commit it, and give you instructions on how to resume smoothly.

Quick Start

Use claude --run gsd-pause-work --report to generate a report for the current work state before you pause and store the state with commit and resume instructions.

FAQPage Schema
How do I save my work state before pausing a coding task?▼

To save work state before pausing a coding task, use a context handoff file to collect relevant details and resume instructions. This ensures your workflow can pick up exactly where it left off without losing mid-task progress.

Can I use Git commits to preserve work in progress when interrupted?▼

Yes, you can use Git commits to preserve work in progress when interrupted. The process automates state saving by creating a handoff document and committing it to your version control history for reliable context retrieval later.

What is a context handoff file for code pause and when do I need it?▼

A context handoff file for code pause is a single document collecting all relevant details of your current work session. You need it when taking a break during tasks like code reviews to avoid losing your mid-task work state.

What's the best way to resume a code review after a break?▼

The best way to resume a code review after a break is retrieving a context handoff file from your previous Git commit. This file contains the preserved work state and specific instructions needed to continue your interrupted workflow.

Does work state preservation require any specific dependencies or components?▼

Work state preservation requires no additional dependencies or components to function. It operates independently to detect your current code phase, generate a handoff file, and automate Git commits for version control.
