Resume work from a prior session by reading phase progress files in .claude/memory/ and active plans. Use this when starting a new session on in-progress work, or when the user says "continue", "pick up where I left off", "resume", or "what was I working on".

# Continue Session Role: orchestrator. This command resumes work from a prior session — it does not start new work. Arguments: optional — a phase or plan name to resume; defaults to the most recent. You have been invoked with the `/continue` command. ## Orchestrator constraints 1. Resume from .claude/memory/ progress files; do not restart completed phases. 2. Summarize prior state; do not replay full history. 3. **Be concise.** Report where work resumes, no narration. ## Steps ### 1. Scan for in-progress work Find phase progress files with `Glob(".claude/memory/*.md")` — never `Read` the bare `.claude/memory/` directory to see what it contains (`${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/knowledge/directory-enumeration.md`). These follow the pattern: - `.claude/memory/research-progress-*.md` — Research phase output - `.claude/memory/plan-progress-*.md` — Plan phase output - `.claude/memory/implementation-progress-*.md` — Implementation phase output - `.claude/memory/decisions.md` — Accumulated decision log Also check (same rule — `Glob`, not a directory `Read`): - `plans/` directory for active plan files - `docs/specs/` for design documents without corresponding implementation — or, on a repo that opted into `/specs`' issue-first persistence convention, a `--spec-issue <url>` reference recorded in the active plan instead of a file - `.claude/review-summaries/` for recent review results - `corrections/` for unapplied code review fixes ### 2. Check git state Run `git status` and `git log --oneline -5` to understand: - Current branch and its relationship to main - Any uncommitted changes - Recent commit messages for context ### 3. Summarize current state Present a structured summary: ```markdown ## Session State **Branch**: feature/xyz (ahead of main by 3 commits) **Last phase completed**: Plan (2026-03-17) **Next phase**: Implement ### In-Progress Work - [Plan] Widget refactor — 8/12 steps complete - [Review] 2 unapplied corrections from last review ### Uncommitted Changes - `src/widget.ts` — modified - `src/widget.test.ts` — modified ### Recommended Next Action Continue implementation from step 9 of the widget refactor plan. ``` ### 4. Ask for confirmation Present the recommended next action and ask: "Resume from here, or would you like to do something else?" If the user confirms, load the appropriate phase context and continue execution. ### 5. Load phase context Based on the identified phase: - **Research**: Load research progress file + relevant design doc - **Plan**: Load plan progress file + design doc - **Implement**: Load implementation progress file + plan + any review corrections Follow the Context Loading Protocol for phased loading.
