Examples

Example 1: Quick Continue

/orchestration/resume --latest --pickup-where-left-off

Resumes exactly where you stopped, showing the in-progress task.

Example 2: Monday Morning

/orchestration/resume --since friday --show-completed

Shows what was done Friday and what's next for Monday.

Example 3: Multiple Projects

/orchestration/resume --all --summary

Quick overview of all active orchestrations.

State Persistence

The command reads from:

• EXECUTION-TRACKER.md for progress metrics
• TASK-STATUS-TRACKER.yaml for current state
• Task files for detailed context
• Git for working directory state

Best Practices

1. Use at Session Start: Run /orchestration/resume when starting work
2. Save State: Use --save-state before extended breaks
3. Check Dependencies: Review blocked tasks that may now be unblocked
4. Commit Regularly: Keep git state aligned with task progress

Notes

• Automatically detects uncommitted changes related to tasks
• Suggests next actions based on dependencies and priorities
• Integrates with git worktrees if in use
• Preserves task history for full context
