Trellis Continue

Resume an in-progress task by loading the current phase and step details.

Installation

  1. Make sure Claude is on your device and in your terminal.

    Skills load from ~/.claude/skills/ when Claude Code starts up β€” so you need it on your machine first. If you don't have it yet, install it once with the command below, then run claude in any terminal to verify.

    One-time setup
    npm i -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code

    Already have it? Skip ahead.

  2. Paste into Claude Code or into your terminal.

    This copies the whole skill folder into ~/.claude/skills/trellis-continue-fy-agent/ β€” the SKILL.md plus any scripts, reference docs, or templates the skill ships with. Safe default: works for every skill.

    Faster alternative (instruction-only skills)

    Skips the clone and grabs only the SKILL.md file. Don't use this if the skill ships Python scripts, reference markdowns, or asset templates β€” they won't be downloaded and the skill will fail when it tries to load them.

    Quick install (SKILL.md only)
    Sign up to copy
  3. Restart Claude Code.

    Quit and reopen Claude Code (or any other agent that loads from ~/.claude/skills/). New skills are picked up on startup.

  4. Just ask Claude.

    Skills auto-activate when your request matches the skill's description β€” no slash command needed. Trigger phrases live in the skill's own frontmatter; you can read them in the β€œWhat this skill does” section above.

Prefer to read the source first? Open on GitHub.

When Claude uses it

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.

What this skill does

Continue Current Task

Resume work on the current task β€” 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 β†’ 1.1 (load trellis-brainstorm)
  • status=planning + prd.md only β†’ 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) β†’ 1.3
  • status=planning + required artifacts complete + required jsonl curated or inline mode β†’ 1.4 (ask for start review; only run task.py start after user confirms)
  • status=in_progress + implementation not started β†’ 2.1
  • status=in_progress + implementation done, not yet checked β†’ 2.2
  • status=in_progress + check passed β†’ 3.3 (spec update) β†’ 3.4 (commit)
  • status=completed (rare; usually archived immediately) β†’ archive flow

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

  1. Run steps in order within a phase β€” [required] steps must not be skipped
  2. [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.
  3. 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.


Reference

Full workflow and detailed phase steps live in .trellis/workflow.md. This command is only an entry point β€” the canonical guidance is there.
