Steering Context Generator - Resume

Continue a generation that was interrupted or failed.

Quick Start

/steering-resume

When to Use

• ⚠ Generation was interrupted (Ctrl+C, timeout, crash)
• ⚠ Agent execution failed mid-way
• ⚠ System resources exhausted
• ⚠ Network connectivity issues

How It Works

Checkpoint System

The system automatically saves checkpoints:

.claude/memory/orchestration/
├── current_session.json    # Current execution state
├── checkpoint_group1.json  # After Group 1 completes
├── checkpoint_group2.json  # After Group 2 completes
└── checkpoint_group3.json  # After Group 3 completes

Resume Logic

# Check for checkpoint
if [ -f ".claude/memory/orchestration/current_session.json" ]; then
  PHASE=$(jq -r '.phase' .claude/memory/orchestration/current_session.json)
  STATUS=$(jq -r '.status' .claude/memory/orchestration/current_session.json)

  if [ "$STATUS" == "running" ] || [ "$STATUS" == "failed" ]; then
    echo "Found interrupted session at phase: $PHASE"
    echo "Resuming from checkpoint..."

    # Resume from last completed phase
    case $PHASE in
      "group1")
        # Restart Group 1 or skip if completed
        ;;
      "group2")
        # Skip Group 1, resume Group 2
        ;;
      "group3")
        # Skip Groups 1 & 2, resume Group 3
        ;;
      "synthesis")
        # Run final synthesis only
        ;;
    esac
  fi
fi

Expected Output

🔄 Checking for interrupted session...

Found Session: gen_20251102_120000
  Status: interrupted
  Phase: group2 (60% complete)
  Last Activity: 2025-11-02 12:45:00

Agents Completed:
  ✓ structure-analyst (Group 1)
  ✓ integration-mapper (Group 1)
  ✓ ui-specialist (Group 1)
  ✓ domain-expert (Group 2)
  ⏳ pattern-detective (Group 2) - INTERRUPTED

Resuming from Group 2...

────────────────────────────────────────

Phase 2/3: Deep Analysis (Resumed)
  ✓ domain-expert: Already complete
  ⏳ pattern-detective: Resuming analysis...
  ⏳ test-strategist: Starting fresh...
  ⏳ database-analyst: Starting fresh...

[Continue with normal execution...]

Manual Resume

If automatic resume fails:

# Check what's completed
ls .claude/memory/*/

# Manually continue with remaining agents
# Use Task tool to invoke specific agents that didn't complete

Clearing Failed State

To start fresh (discard interrupted session):

# Remove checkpoint
rm .claude/memory/orchestration/current_session.json

# Run full generation
/steering-generate

Troubleshooting

"No checkpoint found"

The session completed or never started. Run /steering-generate.

Resume keeps failing

Clear state and start fresh:

rm .claude/memory/orchestration/*.json
/steering-setup
/steering-generate

Recover from interruptions: Run /steering-resume
