qsd-pause-work

To save your work state before pausing, you need a structured handoff mechanism. This workflow detects the current phase, collects complete state, writes a timestamped handoff file, and commits it as a WIP to prevent context loss.

A git checkpoint workflow handles mid-phase handoffs by creating a timestamped .continue-here.md file capturing your phase, decisions, and blockers, then committing it as a WIP. This provides deterministic steps to resume without losing progress.

The best way to resume work after a pause is using a structured handoff file. It provides explicit reload steps and captures remaining work, ensuring you recover complete state and continue exactly where the workflow was paused.

No, the pause work handoff workflow requires no specific dependencies or external components. It operates independently by generating a markdown handoff file and leveraging standard git commits to protect your work state.

You should not use a git commit for pausing work if your project restricts intermediate WIP commits or lacks git version control. The workflow relies on committing a handoff file to prevent state loss during work resumption.
