SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? When returning to an in-progress Trellis task, it is hard to remember which workflow phase and step you left off at. This Skill reloads the current task context, recovers saved progress, and routes you to the exact phase/step to continue. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Context Recovery: Runs get_context.py to confirm the current task, git state, and recent commits before resuming work. - Saved Progress Restoration: Queries task_progress.py for structured status (in_progress, completed, candidates) and relays only the information needed to resume safely. - Phase Routing: Maps task status plus artifact presence (prd.md, design.md, implement.md) to the correct workflow step, from brainstorming through commit. - Use Case: You return to a half-finished feature after the weekend. Invoke this Skill to discover the task is in_progress with implementation done but unchecked, then jump straight to the Phase 2.2 check step. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to continue the current Trellis task and tell you which workflow step to resume at.

FAQPage Schema
How do I resume an in-progress Trellis task?▼

Run the trellis-continue skill, which calls get_context.py to load the current task and phase index, then checks task_progress.py for saved progress. It routes you to the correct workflow step based on task status and which artifacts exist.

How does Trellis decide which workflow step to resume at?▼

It reads the task status field and checks for artifacts like prd.md, design.md, and implement.md. For example, status=planning with only prd.md routes to step 1.4 for lightweight tasks, while status=in_progress with implementation done routes to the check step 2.2.

What happens if my Trellis task is already completed?▼

Completed tasks are not resumed into Phase 2 or 3.3. Instead the flow enters the trellis-push completed-task preflight, which prepares publication recovery, points to trellis-finish-work, or blocks on ambiguous evidence.

Can I reopen a completed Trellis task for rework?▼

Yes, after explicit user confirmation, run task_progress.py reopen with the task name. Only completed to in_progress transitions are valid; reopening clears completedAt but preserves the auditable progress record.

Why does Trellis not resume from saved progress notes alone?▼

Saved progress is treated as advisory evidence only and never overrides task status, planning artifacts, workflow ordering, or Git publication evidence. This prevents resuming from stale or ambiguous state after compaction or session changes.
