SDD Continue

SDD Continue

Resume work from current SDD state in a new chat. Rebuild context from CLI status, then recommend the next command.

Required Skills

• spec-driven-development (load first; source of truth for lane/​phase/​task flow)

Inputs

[!IMPORTANT] Resolve required inputs from the workspace first; only ask the user when resolution is ambiguous or missing (for example, multiple change sets exist).

• Change Set Name: Resolve active change set; if multiple exist, ask which one to continue.

Hard Constraints

• MUST NOT read any files directly.
• Do not use Read/​cat/​manual file inspection for state, tasks, plans, or specs.
• Use ae sdd CLI commands only.

Instructions

1. Load SDD Context: Load spec-driven-development and run ae sdd status [name].

2. Interpret Status:

   • Identify lane, current phase, phase status, and the Next: recommendation from status output.
   • Use status output as the primary recommendation source for next command.

3. Task Continuation Rule:

   • If status includes a task progress line and percentage is not 100%, run:
     • ae sdd task current [name]
   • Report the current task details so the user can continue immediately.
   • If no current task exists while progress is <100%, recommend:
     • ae sdd task start [name]

4. Recommend Next Steps:

   • Provide a short continuation brief:
     • where they are now,
     • what to do next,
     • exact next command to run.
   • Keep recommendations aligned to lane and phase.

5. Output Format:

   • Current lane + phase + completion state
   • Task status (if applicable)
   • Recommended next action
   • Exact command to run next

Success Criteria

• Session context is restored from ae sdd status.
• No direct file reads are performed.
• If task progress is <100%, current task is surfaced via ae sdd task current.
• User gets one clear next command to continue.

Usage Examples

Incomplete tasks (<100%)

Ran: ae sdd status checkout-fix
Current: full lane, phase=implement, status=in_progress
Tasks: 50% (2/​4)
Ran: ae sdd task current checkout-fix
Current task: payment-retry
Next action: Continue current task, then complete it.
Next command: ae sdd task complete --next checkout-fix

Tasks complete (100%)

Ran: ae sdd status checkout-fix
Current: full lane, phase=implement, status=in_progress
Tasks: 100% (4/​4)
Next action: Phase work appears complete.
Next command: ae-sdd-next checkout-fix
