SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It solves the problem of losing momentum after an interrupted or paused Claude development workflow by letting you continue from the exact saved state in your plan file.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • State-aware resumption: Detects the currently in-progress step (STARTED_AT without COMPLETED_AT), the next TODO step, pending review iterations, and the original task description from the workflow’s org/markdown plan.
  • Repo-scoped and legacy compatibility: Resolves the active workflow directory using CLAUDE plugin scoping while also searching legacy flat workflow locations without auto-migrating.
  • Safety confirmation before continuing: Prompts you to confirm whether you modified the plan/steps and whether to add instructions before execution proceeds.
  • Resume guardrails for partial work: Handles half-finished steps by asking whether to restart, skip, or mark the step complete if you finished it manually.
  • Rate-limit aware recovery: Checks shared rate-limit pause state first and offers wait/cancel/exit behaviors when execution would otherwise fail.

Quick Start

Tell your agent: /workflow-resume <workflow_id> to continue from the latest saved progress.

Frequently Asked Questions about Resume Workflow

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I resume an interrupted Claude workflow from where it stopped?▼

To resume an interrupted Claude workflow, you can use the /workflow-resume command to locate the workflow state files, parse the current step and progress, and continue execution from the saved plan.

What happens if a workflow step is only half-finished when the session pauses?▼

When resuming a partially completed workflow step, the system applies resume guardrails by asking whether you want to restart, skip, or mark the half-finished step as complete manually.

Can I resume org-mode workflow plans in legacy flat directory layouts?▼

Yes, workflow resume supports both repo-scoped and legacy flat workflow locations by resolving the active workflow directory using CLAUDE plugin scoping without auto-migrating the files.

How does workflow state tracking handle rate-limit pauses during execution?▼

Workflow state tracking checks the shared rate-limit pause state first and offers wait, cancel, or exit behaviors to handle rate-limit aware recovery before execution would otherwise fail.

Do I need to confirm plan changes before continuing a paused workflow session?▼

Yes, the resume process prompts you to confirm whether you modified the plan steps and whether to add new instructions before execution proceeds, ensuring safety before continuing.

What is the best way to resume epic workflow phases across multiple sessions?▼

The best way to resume epic workflow phases is to use the phase-specific resume logic, which detects in-progress steps, pending review iterations, and optionally binds the session via temp marker files.
