Kata Pause Work

Enables seamless resumption in fresh session with full context restoration.

# Get current phase from STATE.md
CURRENT_PHASE=$(grep -oP 'Phase: \K[0-9]+' .planning/STATE.md 2>/dev/null | head -1)
PADDED=$(printf "%02d" "$CURRENT_PHASE" 2>/dev/null || echo "$CURRENT_PHASE")
PHASE_DIR=""
for state in active pending completed; do
  PHASE_DIR=$(find .planning/phases/${state} -maxdepth 1 -type d -name "${PADDED}-*" 2>/dev/null | head -1)
  [ -z "$PHASE_DIR" ] && PHASE_DIR=$(find .planning/phases/${state} -maxdepth 1 -type d -name "${CURRENT_PHASE}-*" 2>/dev/null | head -1)
  [ -n "$PHASE_DIR" ] && break
done
# Fallback: flat directory (backward compatibility)
if [ -z "$PHASE_DIR" ]; then
  PHASE_DIR=$(find .planning/phases -maxdepth 1 -type d -name "${PADDED}-*" 2>/dev/null | head -1)
  [ -z "$PHASE_DIR" ] && PHASE_DIR=$(find .planning/phases -maxdepth 1 -type d -name "${CURRENT_PHASE}-*" 2>/dev/null | head -1)

If universal discovery fails, fall back to most recently modified files.

1. Current position: Which phase, which plan, which task
2. Work completed: What got done this session
3. Work remaining: What's left in current plan/phase
4. Decisions made: Key decisions and rationale
5. Blockers/issues: Anything stuck
6. Mental context: The approach, next steps, "vibe"
7. Files modified: What's changed but not committed

Ask user for clarifications if needed.

Be specific enough for a fresh Claude to understand immediately.

git check-ignore -q .planning 2>/dev/null && COMMIT_PLANNING_DOCS=false

If COMMIT_PLANNING_DOCS=false: Skip git operations

If COMMIT_PLANNING_DOCS=true (default):

git add ${PHASE_DIR}/.continue-here.md
git commit -m "wip: [phase-name] paused at task [X]/[Y]"

Current state:

• Phase: [XX-name]
• Task: [X] of [Y]
• Status: [in_progress/blocked]
• Committed as WIP

To resume: /kata-resume-work
