FAQPage Schema

How do I resume work from a handoff document after losing context?▼

To resume work from a handoff, the skill restores your prior state by referencing handoff and running state artifacts, verifying the current state, and automatically continuing with the next uncompleted task in your workflow.

What is the best way to restore context and avoid duplicated work when continuing a paused task?▼

Restoring context from a handoff document rebuilds the prior state using available running state artifacts, preventing duplicated work and allowing seamless continuation of your planning and execution workflow.

How does continuation work with beads state and TODO.md files?▼

Continuation synchronizes with beads state to align task progress across sessions, automatically identifies the next pending task, and updates TODO.md to maintain accurate tracking within the implement-plan workflow.

Do I need a running state artifact to continue work from a handoff?▼

A running state artifact is not strictly required but is highly recommended. If available, it significantly improves context restoration and state verification to seamlessly resume your pending tasks.

Can I use this workflow to resume planning and execution across multiple sessions?▼

Yes, you can resume planning and execution across multiple sessions. The workflow applies when continuing after a pause from a handoff file, updating your TODO.md, and adhering to the implement-plan workflow for resumption.

What are the limitations when restoring context from a handoff file?▼

Restoring context from a handoff file requires reference to both the handoff and running state artifacts. Limitations arise if these artifacts are missing or incomplete, which hinders accurate state verification and seamless task handoff.
