What happens if I start a new phase while one is already active?

The skill detects the conflict and provides options to continue the current phase, suspend it to save progress, or cancel the new phase request.

Where is my development phase data stored?

All phase data, including the phase stack, checkpoints, and session guides, is stored locally in your project's docs/dev/ and docs/plans/ directories.

Does this skill require external databases for state management?

No, it uses a standardized JSON-based file system within your repository to track progress, making it portable and easy to version control.

Can I switch back to a phase I previously suspended?

Yes, using the --resume argument followed by the phase name, you can instantly restore all associated files and context for a suspended task.

How does start-phase handle interrupted AI sessions?

It automatically scans for orphaned checkpoints in your project directory and prompts you to restore your last known state, ensuring no progress is lost.

生産性とワークフロー

Manages complex development workflows by initializing new phases, resuming suspended tasks, and maintaining state persistence.

The start-phase skill is a sophisticated workflow management tool for Claude Code that enables structured, multi-phase development. It allows developers to break down large projects into manageable segments, providing intelligent features like orphaned checkpoint detection for crash recovery and a phase stack for switching between tasks. By automating the backup and restoration of session guides and progress checkpoints, it ensures that Claude maintains deep context and state awareness even when navigating between different project milestones or resuming work after an interruption.
