pause-task

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a deterministic way to pause in-progress development tasks, persist essential context, and produce a compact resume capsule so agents or humans can restart work without lost state or confusion.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Selects the active task: Prefers the most recently updated task with status: doing, or the highest-priority doing/paused/blocked task.
• Persists task state and evidence: Updates the task file status and appends a timestamped Updates entry with mode, note, and git evidence.
• Writes a Task PCC capsule: Overwrites .volon/pcc/tasks/<task_id>.md with commit, paused_at, confidence, goal, acceptance criteria, plan, diff stat, commands run, next actions, and blockers (cap 400 words).
• Updates bootstrap and logs: Sets paused_task_id, paused_at, and resume_hint in .volon/bootstrap.md and optionally appends a pause entry to run logs.
• Use case: Pause during a long-running refactor or investigation so another session or collaborator can resume reliably with precise next actions.

Quick Start

Use the pause-task skill in soft mode with an optional note to persist the current task state and generate a resume capsule.
