| description | Resume work on the current task. Loads the workflow Phase Index, figures out which phase/step to pick up at, then pulls the step-level detail via get_context.py --mode phase. Use when coming back to an in-progress task and you need to know what to do next. |
Continue Current Task
Resume work on the current task — pick up at the right phase/step in .trellis/workflow.md.
Step 1: Load Current Context
python ./.trellis/scripts/get_context.py
Confirms: current task, git state, recent commits.
Step 2: Load the Phase Index
python ./.trellis/scripts/get_context.py --mode phase
Shows the Phase Index (Plan / Execute / Finish) with routing + skill mapping.
Step 3: Decide Where You Are
get_context.py shows the active task's status field. Route by status + artifact presence:
status=planning + no prd.md → 1.1 (load trellis-brainstorm)status=planning + prd.md exists + implement.jsonl not curated (only the seed _example row) → 1.3status=planning + prd.md + curated implement.jsonl → 1.4 (run task.py start to enter Phase 2)status=in_progress + implementation not started → 2.1status=in_progress + implementation done, not yet checked → 2.2status=in_progress + check passed → 3.1status=completed (rare; usually archived immediately) → archive flow
Phase rules (full detail in .trellis/workflow.md):
- Run steps in order within a phase —
[required] steps must not be skipped
[once] steps are already done if the output exists (e.g., prd.md for 1.1; implement.jsonl with curated entries for 1.3) — skip them- You may go back to an earlier phase if discoveries require it
Step 4: Load the Specific Step
Once you know which step to resume at:
python ./.trellis/scripts/get_context.py --mode phase --step <X.X> --platform codex
Follow the loaded instructions. After each [required] step completes, move to the next.
Reference
Full workflow, skill routing table, and the DO-NOT-skip table live in .trellis/workflow.md. This command is only an entry point — the canonical guidance is there.
