| description | Use when resuming an existing spec by slug — the /specode:continue entry that reads the fixed docs, reports a progress brief (inferred phase + checkbox progress), then stops and waits for the user; it never auto-resumes. Trigger /specode:continue <slug>. |
/specode:continue — resume an existing spec
/specode:continue <slug> loads an existing spec's context and reports where it stands, then stops. It never auto-resumes. This skill owns only the load-and-stop entry + phase inference; the actual pipeline lives in the sibling ../spec/SKILL.md.
Resolver
specode CLIs go through the run.sh wrapper in the plugin's scripts/ directory — relative to this skill that is ../../scripts/; use this skill's base directory to turn the relative path into an absolute one (do not resolve env vars, do not find the cache):
sh ../../scripts/run.sh ../../scripts/resolve_root.py get-root
Flow
- slug is required; if missing → report an error and suggest
/specode:list to find slugs.
resolve_root.py get-root (exit 3 not configured → first-time setup; exit 4 configured but unreachable — external drive not mounted / path gone → surface the cause and re-prompt for a path rather than reporting "slug not found"; both per ../spec/SKILL.md §specsRoot resolution) → on exit 0, locate <specsRoot>/<slug>/; directory not found → report an error and suggest /specode:list.- Read every fixed doc present, infer the phase per the table below, then report a progress brief and stop — do not auto-resume.
Load-and-stop 🔒: /specode:continue <slug> never auto-resumes. It does exactly three things: (1) locate <specsRoot>/<slug>/ and read every fixed doc present; (2) report a progress brief — slug, inferred phase, per-doc existence, tasks.md checkbox progress (x/N; legacy specs: design.md checkboxes), and what the next action would be; (3) stop and wait for the user's instruction. Only when the user says 继续 (or equivalent) does execution resume from the inferred phase; if the user instead supplies requirement changes, digest them into the affected docs first, then ask whether to resume. The "Resume action" column below describes what happens after the user gives the go-ahead — it is not automatic behavior.
| Directory state | Inferred phase | Resume action (after user go-ahead) |
|---|
no requirements.md | intake | invoke the specode:intake skill via the Skill tool (project analysis + clarification + writes requirements.md with the frontmatter contract) |
has requirements.md, no design.md | design | run design (brainstorming design-only / native authoring) |
has design.md, no tasks.md, and design.md contains ## Task + - [ ] | legacy spec (5.x) | invoke the specode:execute skill via the Skill tool (it detects the legacy design.md-as-plan itself) |
has design.md (new-style, prose), no tasks.md | tasks | run tasks breakdown (writing-plans / native per tasks template) |
tasks.md with unchecked - [ ] | executing | invoke the specode:execute skill via the Skill tool (it re-presents the 执行方式 selector / resumes the chosen engine) |
all tasks.md checkboxes checked | complete | invoke the specode:execute skill via the Skill tool (it skips straight to acceptance) / report already complete |
Resuming (only after the user gives the go-ahead)
When the user says 继续, resume from the inferred phase — always by loading that phase's own instructions into context, never by a bare prose cross-reference. A prose "see ../spec/SKILL.md" does not load the file; a Skill-tool invocation or an explicit Read does. (This is the exact failure mode that motivated 6.3.0: the old continue said "resume per SKILL.md" but that SKILL was never loaded, so the 执行方式 selector couldn't be reconstructed.)
- Phase = intake → invoke the
specode:intake skill via the Skill tool (it owns the whole requirements phase: project analysis + clarification + writing requirements.md with the frontmatter contract). Do not fall back to brainstorming — 6.x requirements always go through intake.
- Phase ∈ {design, tasks} →
Read ../spec/SKILL.md first to load the pipeline into context, then follow its §Flow (design = step 3, tasks = step 4), §superpowers orchestration + relocation, and §Iron rules. (design uses superpowers:brainstorming design-only or native; tasks uses superpowers:writing-plans or native — invoke those via the Skill tool where installed.)
- Phase ∈ {executing, complete, legacy 5.x} → invoke the
specode:execute skill via the Skill tool. Never re-derive the 执行方式 selector or the engine dispatch from prose — that content lives only in skills/execute/SKILL.md and is loaded into context by invoking it.
The 4-doc fixed-artifact invariant and the <specsRoot>/<slug>/ location are identical everywhere.
Output Language
User-facing output (progress brief, questions, confirmations, errors) must be in Chinese (中文).
