Overview

The Pause skill for Claude AI is a security-tested development tool that allows users to save their current session state for later resumption. It is part of the Plan-Build-Run project and is designed to capture everything needed for the next session to pick up where the user left off. The skill runs inline without task delegation and creates a .continue-here.md handoff file with essential information. The process involves reading the current state, determining the current phase directory, and gathering session state information, including current position, work completed, and remaining work. The skill can also perform a lightweight state dump with the --checkpoint flag for quick manual checkpoints. The Pause skill is useful for users who need to resume their work in a future conversation, allowing them to pick up where they left off without losing context.
