SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

PDLC teams often pause a feature and lose track of progress or state. This Skill resumes the paused feature from its saved checkpoint by reclaiming tasks, validating the saved state, and restoring progress across phases.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Reclaims and resumes a paused feature from the last checkpoint, including STATE.md state and associated Beads tasks.
  • Checks for changes since pause and rebases as needed to incorporate newer code or configurations.
  • Safely restores STATE.md and hands off to the appropriate phase skill (brainstorm/build/ship) for continuation.

FAQPage Schema
How do I resume a paused PDLC feature from its checkpoint?

To resume a paused PDLC feature, the Skill reclaims the associated Beads task, validates the saved STATE.md and .paused-feature.json files, rebases any recent changes, and hands off to the correct phase skill for continuation.

What files are required to restore a paused feature state?

Restoring a paused feature requires a saved checkpoint containing both STATE.md for progress tracking and .paused-feature.json for pause state validation before task reclamation can proceed.

How does Beads task reclamation work when resuming a paused feature?

Beads task reclamation enforces pause state checks against saved checkpoints, validates the paused feature's configuration, and safely restores the task data to hand off to the appropriate phase skill.

Can I resume a paused feature if the codebase has changed since the pause?

Yes, when resuming a paused feature, the Skill checks for changes made since the pause and rebases as needed to incorporate newer code or configurations before restoring the state.

Does restoring a paused state automatically continue the build phase?

Restoring a paused state does not force a specific phase; it safely validates the checkpoint and hands off to the appropriate phase skill, whether brainstorm, build, or ship, for continuation.

What happens if there is no saved paused state for a PDLC feature?

The Skill applies only when a saved paused state exists with STATE.md and .paused-feature.json; without these checkpoint files, it cannot enforce pause state checks or perform task reclamation.
