| description | Pause a running Zoo workflow at a safe handoff. Use only when explicitly asked to pause, stop, or leave work resumable. |
Follow .zoo/zoo.md if exists.
Stop without wasting in-flight work.
- Do not start new subtasks, broad validation, rebase, push, or final closeout.
- Let useful in-flight commands/subagents finish; stop obsolete/destructive/expensive work when safe.
- Finish only the smallest edit/check/state update needed for clean resume.
- Do not commit partial work only because user asked to pause.
- Set task frontmatter to
paused during subtask N or paused after subtask N.
- Add one
Log line: completed work, current step, validation/review state, uncommitted changes, exact resume step.
- If subtask met done condition, record it; mark done only through normal done rules.
Reply with task file link, pause point, completed work, validation/review status, uncommitted changes, exact resume point.
