SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Paused spec-driven workflows stall progress; this Skill resumes a paused spec to advance to the next pipeline stage (plan, tasks, implement) within the SDD loop.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Resumes paused specs by updating the .spec-context.json and appending a transition entry for auditability.
  • Determines the next pipeline step from the current context or existing artifacts (specs/.../ files) and triggers the corresponding skill.
  • Supports automatic resumption or manual resume of a specific feature slug, enabling smooth restoration of work after pauses.

Quick Start

Run /sdd:resume to continue the most recently paused spec.

FAQPage Schema
How do I resume a paused spec-driven development workflow?▼

To resume a paused spec-driven development workflow, run the resume command to update the .spec-context.json file and advance the pipeline to the next stage.

What is a .spec-context.json file used for in spec-driven pipelines?▼

A .spec-context.json file stores the paused state of a spec-driven pipeline, enabling deterministic next-step resolution and safe state mutation for resuming the workflow.

How do I continue a paused SDD pipeline from a specific feature slug?▼

You can continue a paused SDD pipeline from a specific feature slug by manually triggering the resume command, which updates the context and invokes the appropriate skill.

Can I advance the spec-driven pipeline to the implement step after a pause?▼

Yes, you can advance the spec-driven pipeline to the plan, tasks, or implement steps after a pause by updating the existing context and triggering the corresponding skill.

Does resuming a paused spec log the pipeline state transition?▼

Yes, resuming a paused spec logs the pipeline state transition by appending an entry to the context file, ensuring auditability and safe state mutation during workflow restoration.

What happens if the spec context file is missing when I try to resume?▼

If the .spec-context.json file is missing under the specs directory, the resume command cannot apply because it requires an existing paused state to safely mutate and advance the pipeline.
