SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It helps you continue an interrupted engineering workflow by re-ingesting the handoff document, validating that the repository state still matches the documented context, and then guiding you through an explicit, confirmation-gated continuation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Handoff-first state recovery: Reads the handoff fully (from a provided path or by selecting the most recent file for an issue) and extracts tasks, learnings, artifacts, and next steps to restore continuity.
  • Cross-checks critical linked documents: Immediately reads referenced research and plan files under flow/research and flow/plans to ensure decisions remain valid before acting.
  • Interactive, confirmation-driven continuation: Synthesizes verified status, identifies potential regressions or missing dependencies, creates an updated todo list, and asks for confirmation before beginning implementation.

FAQPage Schema
How do I resume an interrupted development session from a handoff document?

Resuming an interrupted development session requires ingesting a handoff document to extract tasks and learnings, directly loading referenced plan files, and validating repository state against the documented context before continuing work.

What is workflow continuation with context validation for engineering tasks?

Workflow continuation with context validation cross-checks repository state against prior handoff tasks and linked research files to detect regressions or missing dependencies before reloading context and creating an updated todo list.

How do I validate repository state against a GitHub issue handoff before implementing?

Validate repository state by fully ingesting the handoff document for a GitHub issue, directly loading referenced plan and research files under flow directories, and synthesizing current versus prior statuses to identify divergences before creating todos.

Does handoff continuity recovery work without linked research and plan files?

Handoff continuity recovery relies on reading referenced research and plan files under flow/research and flow/plans to ensure prior decisions remain valid, so missing these linked documents limits the ability to fully validate context before acting.

Can I skip the confirmation gate when resuming work from a handoff document?

You cannot skip the confirmation gate when resuming work, because the skill synthesizes verified status, identifies potential regressions or missing dependencies, creates an updated todo list, and requires explicit confirmation before beginning implementation.
