Trellis Continue

Resume work on the current task. Loads the workflow Phase Index, figures out which phase/step to pick up at, then pulls the step-level detail via get_context.py --mode phase. Use when coming back to an in-progress task and you need to know what to do next.

Continue Current Task

Resume work on the current task — pick up at the right phase/step in .trellis/workflow.md.

Step 1: Load Current Context

python ./.trellis/scripts/get_context.py

Confirms: current task, git state, recent commits.

Step 2: Load the Phase Index

python ./.trellis/scripts/get_context.py --mode phase

Shows the Phase Index (Plan / Execute / Finish) with routing + skill mapping.

Step 3: Decide Where You Are

get_context.py shows the active task's status field. Route by status + artifact presence. This command replaces the user needing to remember the Trellis flow; it does not itself approve implementation.

status=planning + no prd.md → 1.1 (load trellis-brainstorm)
status=planning + prd.md only → decide whether the task is lightweight or complex. Lightweight can move to 1.4 review; complex returns to 1.1 to add design.md + implement.md.
status=planning + complex artifacts complete + sub-agent jsonl not curated (empty, or only a legacy _example placeholder row) → 1.3
status=planning + required artifacts complete + required jsonl curated or inline mode → 1.4 (ask for start review; only run task.py start after user confirms)
status=in_progress + implementation not started → 2.1
status=in_progress + implementation done, not yet checked → 2.2
status=in_progress + check passed → 3.3 (spec update) → 3.4 (commit)
status=completed (rare; usually archived immediately) → archive flow

Phase rules (full detail in .trellis/workflow.md):

Run steps in order within a phase — [required] steps must not be skipped
[once] steps are already done if the required output exists. prd.md alone can be enough only for lightweight tasks; complex tasks also need design.md and implement.md.
You may go back to an earlier phase if discoveries require it

Step 4: Load the Specific Step

Once you know which step to resume at:

python ./.trellis/scripts/get_context.py --mode phase --step <X.X> --platform codex

Follow the loaded instructions. After each [required] step completes, move to the next.
