  3. 03

    Review the result

    The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.

SKILL.md

The instructions your agent reads when the skill is triggered.

<objective> Create `.continue-here.md` handoff file to preserve complete work state across sessions.

Routes to the pause-work workflow which handles:

  • Current phase detection from recent files
  • Complete state gathering (position, completed work, remaining work, decisions, blockers)
  • Handoff file creation with all context sections
  • Git commit as WIP
  • Resume instructions </objective>

<execution_context> @{{PLATFORM_ROOT}}/get-shit-done/workflows/pause-work.md </execution_context>

<context> State and phase progress are gathered in-workflow with targeted reads. </context> <process> **Follow the pause-work workflow** from `@{{PLATFORM_ROOT}}/get-shit-done/workflows/pause-work.md`.

The workflow handles all logic including:

  1. Phase directory detection
  2. State gathering with user clarifications
  3. Handoff file writing with timestamp
  4. Git commit
  5. Confirmation with resume instructions </process>
