Continue TEDS Task

Launch the teds-executor agent to resume work on an existing long-term task.

Usage

/teds-continue task-id

Examples

# Continue specific task
/teds-continue 20250116-1430-refactor-auth

# List available tasks first
/teds-status
# Then continue one
/teds-continue 20250116-1430-migrate-database

What This Does

The executor agent will:

1. Load TEDS configuration
2. Read all task documentation:
   • manifest.yaml - Task info
   • plan.md - Execution plan
   • execution_log.md - Recent actions (last 20 entries)
   • knowledge_base.md - Accumulated learnings
   • status.yaml - Current state
3. Identify last completed action
4. Check for any blocked status
5. Resume from next_action in status.yaml
6. Continue with mandatory logging after every action

Task Recovery

If you're resuming after a break, the agent will:

• Show you what was accomplished previously
• Identify where work stopped
• Confirm the next action before proceeding
• Catch you up on any important context

Example output:

📋 Resuming Task: refactor-auth (20250116-1430-refactor-auth)

Last session: 2 hours ago
Progress: 45% (Phase 2: Implementation)
Last action: Created new AuthService class

Status: Active (not blocked)
Next: Implement OAuth flow integration

Continue with next action? [y/n]

Mandatory Logging

While working, the executor agent will:

• Log EVERY action to execution_log.md
• Update status.yaml on state changes
• Add discoveries to knowledge_base.md
• Create checkpoints every 30+ minutes

You don't need to remind the agent to log—it's built into the system.

Checkpoints

The agent automatically creates checkpoints:

• Every 30+ minutes of work
• At major milestones
• When you request: /teds-checkpoint

Checkpoints are safe pause points where you can stop and resume later.

If Task is Blocked

If the status shows blocked: true, the agent will:

1. Explain what caused the block
2. Review attempted solutions
3. Propose new approaches or ask for guidance
4. Update status once unblocked
