Continue Development

Resume your development session by checking pending work and recommending next steps.

Arguments

Argument	Behavior
(none)	Show status, recommend next step, ask before dispatching
--quick	Just display status files, no analysis or dispatch
--full	Run comprehensive project-health-monitor
--auto	Auto-dispatch first pending task without confirmation

Process

1. Check State Files

Read these files if they exist:

# Check for state files
ls .studio/dispatch-queue.md .studio/project-status.md 2>/dev/null

Dispatch Queue (.studio/dispatch-queue.md):

• Show pending tasks with priority order
• Identify first actionable task

Project Status (.studio/project-status.md):

• Show current phase and completion percentage
• Show last completed task
• Show any blockers

2. Display Status

Always show current state first:

**Session Status**

Dispatch Queue: [X] pending tasks
1. [First task] → [agent]
2. [Second task] → [agent]

Project Status: [Phase] ([X]% complete)
Last: [last completed task]
Blockers: [any blockers, or "None"]

If no state files exist:

**Session Status**

No dispatch queue found.
No project status found.

This appears to be a fresh session or new project.

3. Determine Action

Based on mode:

Mode	Action
--quick	Stop after displaying status
--full	Invoke ai-game-studio:project-health-monitor for comprehensive assessment
Default	Continue to recommendation step
--auto	Continue to recommendation, then auto-dispatch

4. Recommendation (Default and --auto modes)

If dispatch-queue has pending tasks:

• Recommend the first pending task
• Show the agent to use

Otherwise:

• Invoke ai-game-studio:next-step-suggester agent for analysis
• Let it scan for incomplete work and recommend

5. Dispatch

Default mode: Ask for confirmation

Continue with this? (yes/no/other)

--auto mode: Dispatch immediately without asking

On confirmation (or --auto):

• Invoke the appropriate agent via Task tool
• Pass full context from status files

Output Format

With Pending Tasks

**Session Status**

Dispatch Queue: 2 pending tasks
1. Generate barrel textures → zx-procgen:asset-generator
2. Implement collision detection → zx-dev:feature-implementer

Project Status: Implementation Phase (45% complete)
Last: Player movement system
Blockers: None

**Recommended Next Step:**
→ Generate barrel textures
  Agent: zx-procgen:asset-generator
  Context: Barrel mesh exists, needs textures for rendering

Continue with this? (yes/no/other)

Fresh Session

**Session Status**

No dispatch queue found.
No project status found.

ai-game-studio:continue --quick
→ Just shows dispatch-queue and project-status, no further action

ai-game-studio:continue --full
→ Runs project-health-monitor for comprehensive 6-dimension analysis

ai-game-studio:continue --auto
→ Shows status, then immediately dispatches first pending task
