SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Reconnect you with your work after a pause by locating the last checkpoint, reconstructing context, and proposing the next actions to resume efficiently.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Inline resumption: restore context and suggest clear next steps without delegating tasks.
  • Pause-point discovery: locate the most recent checkpoint using STATE.md and .continue-here.md artifacts.
  • Safety and validation: verify git state, plan/phase consistency, and handle discrepancies with warnings instead of failures.

Quick Start

Ask Towline to resume your last session with /dev:resume to continue where you left off.

Frequently Asked Questions about resume

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I restore my context and resume a paused software engineering session?▼

You can resume your work by invoking /dev:resume, which scans STATE.md and .continue-here.md artifacts to locate your last checkpoint and suggest clear next steps for continuing inline.

How does checkpoint discovery work when I need to resume work?▼

Checkpoint discovery works by scanning STATE.md and .continue-here.md artifacts to locate the most recent pause point, reconstructing your working context to enable seamless continuation of your tasks.

Does this resume process validate git state and file existence before restoring context?▼

Yes, the resume process enforces safety checks including git state validation, file existence verification, and consistency checks between filesystem state and pause artifacts to handle discrepancies with warnings instead of failures.

What is the best way to continue work after a development session pause?▼

The best way to continue work after a pause is using an inline resumption tool that locates your last checkpoint via STATE.md and proposes next actions, guiding you safely without auto-executing delegated tasks.

When should I not use an automated session resume to restore my context?▼

You should avoid automated session resume when your git state is inconsistent or phase artifacts are missing, as the Skill will detect these discrepancies and issue warnings instead of forcing a restoration.

Can I use this to resume work if my filesystem state does not match my pause artifacts?▼

If your filesystem state does not match your pause artifacts, the Skill detects the inconsistency during validation and guides you with warnings rather than failing, ensuring you can safely assess the situation before proceeding.
