continue-feature
Resume work on existing feature clone
When & Why to Use This Skill
The 'continue-feature' skill is designed to streamline the software development workflow by automating the process of resuming work on existing feature clones. It eliminates manual overhead by identifying the correct local or remote branches, synchronizing code with the main repository, and performing a deep context analysis of the current progress. By parsing git states and project documentation like plan.md, it provides developers with a clear roadmap of the next steps required to complete a feature.
Use Cases
- Context Recovery: Ideal for developers returning to a complex task after a break, allowing them to quickly regain context through automated analysis of git history and planning documents.
- Multi-tasking Management: Simplifies switching between various feature branches by automating the navigation, cloning, and environment synchronization process.
- Collaborative Handoffs: Enables team members to efficiently pick up work started by others by automatically summarizing the current state and identifying pending action items from the existing codebase.

Process
Step 1: Find Feature Clone
Identify the appropriate clone:
# List existing clones
ls -1 _clones/
If clone doesn't exist, check if feature branch exists remotely and create clone:
git branch -a | grep feature
REPO_URL=$(git config --get remote.origin.url)
# If remote branch exists:
mkdir -p _clones
git clone -b FEATURE_NAME "$REPO_URL" _clones/FEATURE_NAME
If couldn't find a right fit, stop and ask user for clarification.
Step 2: Navigate to Feature Clone
Tell user to switch to the clone:
cd _clones/FEATURE_NAME
Step 3: Sync with Main
Run the sync skill to commit and push.
Step 4: Analyze Current Progress
- Read current git state compared to origin/main to understand context
- Examine
plan.mdand documentation - Identify next steps from the plan
Step 5: Summarization
- Summarize next steps and ask user how to continue
