Restartability

Always maintain STATUS.md to enable picking up work after interruptions.

STATUS.md Format

# Status: [PROJECT NAME]
**Updated**: [timestamp] | **Tasks**: X/Y complete

## Tasks
| Task | Status | Wave | Notes |
|------|--------|------|-------|
| Feature A | Done | E | PR merged |
| Feature B | Active | D | Writing tests |
| Bug fix C | Blocked | B | Need input |

## Artifacts
| File | Status |

| spec.md | Done |
| architecture.md | Draft |
| test-plan.md | Missing |

## Session Log
- Completed: [what]
- In progress: [what]
- Blocked: [what + why]

When to Update STATUS.md

  • Start of session: Read STATUS.md first
  • After completing a wave: Update task status and artifacts
  • When blocked: Document what's blocking and why
  • Before ending session: Update with current state

Resuming from Interruption

  1. Read STATUS.md first
  2. Skip completed work
  3. Resume from last good state
  4. Update frequently as you work
