Task Continue FAQs

Question 1

What is the Task Continue skill?

Accepted Answer

It is a specialized capability for Claude Code that allows the AI to pick up exactly where it left off during a complex, multi-step software implementation by reading saved checkpoint data.

Question 2

When should I use the /continue command?

Accepted Answer

You should use /continue after hitting a context limit during an implementation, when starting a new session to work on an existing spec, or if an implementation was interrupted.

Question 3

What happens if my Git branch has changed since the last checkpoint?

Accepted Answer

The skill performs a verification check against the expected commit SHA. If a mismatch is detected, it warns the user and provides options to checkout the correct branch or abort the operation.

Question 4

How does Task Continue find the right place to resume?

Accepted Answer

The skill scans the './specs/active/' directory for the most recent 'checkpoint.yaml' file, which contains the session state, task progress, and current Git branch information.

Question 5

Does it automatically run tests when resuming?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it resumes the standard three-phase pipeline which includes running testers (Phase A), followed by implementers (Phase B) and reviewers (Phase C) for the next pending task batch.
