What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by coco-research/coco in systems/gsd/skills/gsd-pause-work/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

Routes to the pause-work workflow which handles:

  • Current phase detection from recent files
  • Complete state gathering (position, completed work, remaining work, decisions, blockers)
  • Handoff file creation with all context sections
  • Git commit as WIP
  • Resume instructions

<execution_context> @$HOME/.claude/get-shit-done/workflows/pause-work.md </execution_context>

The workflow handles all logic including:

  1. Phase directory detection
  2. State gathering with user clarifications
  3. Handoff file writing with timestamp
  4. Git commit
  5. Confirmation with resume instructions
