Create `.continue-here.md` handoff file to preserve complete work state across sessions. Enables seamless resumption with full context restoration. Read all files referenced by the invoking prompt's execution_context before starting. Find current phase directory from most recently modified files: ```bash # Find most recent phase directory with work ls -lt .planning/phases/*/plan.md 2>/dev/null | head -1 | grep -oP 'phases/\K[^/]+' ``` If no active phase detected, ask user which phase they're pausing work on. **Collect complete state for handoff:** 1. **Current position**: Which phase, which plan, which task 2. **Work completed**: What got done this session 3. **Work remaining**: What's left in current plan/phase 4. **Decisions made**: Key decisions and rationale 5. **Blockers/issues**: Anything stuck 6. **Mental context**: The approach, next steps, "vibe" 7. **Files modified**: What's changed but not committed Ask user for clarifications if needed via conversational questions. **Write handoff to `.planning/phases/XX-name/.continue-here.md`:** ```markdown --- phase: XX-name task: 3 total_tasks: 7 status: in_progress last_updated: [timestamp from current-timestamp] --- [Where exactly are we? Immediate context] - Task 1: [name] - Done - Task 2: [name] - Done - Task 3: [name] - In progress, [what's done] - Task 3: [what's left] - Task 4: Not started - Task 5: Not started - Decided to use [X] because [reason] - Chose [approach] over [alternative] because [reason] - [Blocker 1]: [status/workaround] [Mental state, what were you thinking, the plan] Start with: [specific first action when resuming] ``` Be specific enough for a fresh Claude to understand immediately. Use `current-timestamp` for last_updated field. You can use init todos (which provides timestamps) or call directly: ```bash timestamp=$(node ~/.claude/pan-wizard-core/bin/pan-tools.cjs current-timestamp full --raw) ``` ```bash node ~/.claude/pan-wizard-core/bin/pan-tools.cjs commit "wip: [phase-name] paused at task [X]/[Y]" --files .planning/phases/*/.continue-here.md ``` ``` ✓ Handoff created: .planning/phases/[XX-name]/.continue-here.md Current state: - Phase: [XX-name] - Task: [X] of [Y] - Status: [in_progress/blocked] - Committed as WIP To resume: /pan:resume ``` - [ ] .continue-here.md created in correct phase directory - [ ] All sections filled with specific content - [ ] Committed as WIP - [ ] User knows location and how to resume
