The instruction itself

as written by the author

<objective>

Create .continue-here.md handoff file to preserve complete work state across sessions.

Routes to the pause-work workflow which handles:

  • Current phase detection from recent files
  • Complete state gathering (position, completed work, remaining work, decisions, blockers)
  • Handoff file creation with all context sections
  • Git commit as WIP
  • Resume instructions

</objective>

<execution_context>

@$HOME/.claude/get-shit-done/workflows/pause-work.md

</execution_context>

<context>

State and phase progress are gathered in-workflow with targeted reads.

</context>

<process>

Follow the pause-work workflow from @$HOME/.claude/get-shit-done/workflows/pause-work.md.

The workflow handles all logic including:

  • Phase directory detection
  • State gathering with user clarifications
  • Handoff file writing with timestamp
  • Git commit
  • Confirmation with resume instructions

</process>

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.
