/sage:continueThe summary Claude sees in its skill listing — used to decide when to auto-load this skill
- Announce: "Sage → continue." before starting work
Resume any active cycle with full context. The user doesn't need to remember which workflow or initiative was in progress.
Scan .sage/work/*/manifest.md for cycles where
status: in-progress or status: paused.
Sage: Resuming [{title}] — {workflow}, phase: {phase}.
{context summary, verbatim from manifest}
Next step: {next step from manifest}
[C] Continue — pick up where we left off
[S] Status — show me full cycle state before continuing
[X] Different — I want to work on something else
Pick C/S/X, or tell me what you need.
On [C]: Load manifest context. Route to the workflow's Auto-Pickup with manifest as primary context source. The resuming agent follows the handoff guidance and does NOT re-ask questions already resolved.
On [S]: Show full manifest contents (State, Context summary, Decisions, Open questions, Handoff guidance). Then offer [C]/[X].
On [X]: "Describe what you want to work on, or type / to see commands."
Sage: Found {N} active cycles:
[1] {title A} — {workflow}, phase: {phase} (updated: {date})
[2] {title B} — {workflow}, phase: {phase} (updated: {date})
[3] Start something new
Pick 1-{N+1}, type / for commands, or describe what you need.
On selection: load that cycle's manifest, route to its workflow.
Sage: No active cycles found.
Describe what you want to work on, or type / to see commands.
The resuming agent behaves as if it has the context described in the manifest's context summary. It follows the handoff guidance. It does NOT re-ask questions the previous agent already resolved — those decisions are in the manifest and decisions.md.
/continue reads the workflow field in the manifest and activates
the corresponding workflow's Auto-Pickup:
| workflow field | Routes to |
|---|---|
| build | /build Auto-Pickup |
| architect | /architect Auto-Pickup |
| fix | /fix Auto-Pickup |
| research | /research Auto-Pickup |
| design | /design Auto-Pickup |
| analyze | /analyze Auto-Pickup |
| reflect | /reflect Auto-Pickup |
npx claudepluginhub xoai/sage --plugin sageResumes work on existing projects: lists from registry JSON, reads project_state.md for state summary and phase, scans in-progress tasks, suggests next actions. Triggers: 'pick up where I left off'.
Resumes coding sessions by detecting blockers, reconciling STATE.md with filesystem, and suggesting next actions from checkpoints or plans.
Reads a CONTINUE_HERE.md continuation file at session start and resumes from where a prior session left off, detecting freshness, parsing structured handoff, and cleaning up after consumption.
