What It Does
Section titled “What It Does”guided-resume-task is the interactive counterpart for resuming a partially completed task. Where auto-mode silently finds the continue file and picks up execution, the guided version surfaces what the continue file contains before resuming — giving the user a chance to understand where execution was interrupted, review any partial state, and decide whether to continue or redirect.
When dispatched, the prompt locates the continue file ({sliceId}-CONTINUE.md or continue.md) in the slice directory, reads it, and uses it as the recovery contract for where to pick up. Crucially, the continue file is not deleted immediately — it is retained until the task is successfully completed or a newer summary or continue artifact clearly supersedes it. If the resumed attempt fails again, the continue file is updated or replaced so that no recovery context is lost across retries.
Skill preferences are also respected: if a skill activation block is present in system context, the executor uses it to decide which skills to load during the resumed session, without relaxing verification or artifact requirements.
Pipeline Position
Section titled “Pipeline Position”The /gsd command dispatches guided-resume-task when interrupted work needs to be continued interactively. After resumption completes, the standard task summary artifact is written.
