Pause the active spec — save detailed resume context for next session

Pause Spec

Read the specmint-core skill and follow the "Pausing a Spec" workflow.

  1. Read .specs/registry.md to find the spec with active status
  2. If no active spec exists, report that there is nothing to pause and stop
  3. Load the SPEC.md
  4. Capture everything about the current state:
    • Which task was in progress
    • What files were modified (specific paths, function names, line ranges)
    • Key decisions made this session
    • Blockers or open questions
    • The exact next step someone should take
  5. Write all of this to the Resume Context section in SPEC.md
  6. Update checkboxes to reflect actual progress
  7. Move ← current to the correct task
  8. Add session decisions to Decision Log
  9. Set status to paused, update the updated date
  10. Update .specs/registry.md
  11. Confirm to the user that context was saved

Be extremely specific in the Resume Context. Write it as if briefing a colleague who has never seen this code and will pick up tomorrow.
