SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Pause and capture the active CodeScope pipeline state to enable seamless resumption later.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Capture the current pipeline state to preserve progress and context.
  • Identify the target task by slug or automatically pause the most recently modified task directory under .claude/codescope/execution.
  • Generate a portable handoff file and perform session cleanup to keep the workspace tidy and ready for resumption.

Quick Start

Pause the active pipeline by running the pause operation to save its state for later resumption.

FAQPage Schema
How do I pause a CodeScope pipeline without losing my current execution state?

To pause a CodeScope pipeline and preserve its execution state, this Skill captures the active pipeline context and generates a portable handoff file, enabling seamless resumption later without losing progress.

Can I pause a specific task in a CodeScope pipeline using a task slug?

Yes, you can pause a specific task in a CodeScope pipeline by providing a task slug. If no slug is provided, the operation automatically targets the most recently modified task directory under .claude/codescope/execution.

What happens to old CodeScope sessions when I pause a pipeline?

When you pause a CodeScope pipeline, a dedicated cleanup routine prunes old sessions to keep the workspace tidy. It also generates a handoff file to ensure the captured state is ready for resumption.

When do I need to generate a handoff file for a CodeScope pipeline?

You need to generate a handoff file for a CodeScope pipeline when you want to safely pause execution and capture the current state, ensuring all context and progress are preserved for a future seamless resumption.

Does the CodeScope pause operation work on any running pipeline automatically?

Yes, the pause operation targets any currently running CodeScope pipeline. It automatically identifies the correct task directory to pause if a specific task slug is not explicitly provided.

Why would pausing a CodeScope pipeline fail to save the execution state?

Pausing a CodeScope pipeline might fail if there is no active pipeline running or if the target task directory under .claude/codescope/execution cannot be found, in which case it reports the failure via console output.
