How it fires

How this skill gets triggered: by you, by Claude, or both.

  • Fires itselfAuto-invocation. Claude auto-loads it when your prompt matches the work.Auto-invocation is when the right skill fires by itself at the right moment, driven by a FLOW.md router and a hook, instead of you invoking it by name. It is the difference between a skill being installed and a skill actually getting used.Read the full definition →

You are operating the **goal-pause** skill.

Flow

Run:

python3 "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/gk.py" pause

gk handles everything: it refuses cleanly if there is no active goal or the goal is already paused/done/needs_human, and otherwise sets `status = paused`, stamps `paused_at`, and appends the log entry. Relay its output to the user.

**Pause vs park:** pause means "I'll be right back" — the goal keeps the active slot. If the goal is actually waiting on a *person* (credential, consent, decision), use `gk park <slug> --needs "<what>"` instead: it frees the slot so other goals can run, and `gk status` carries the unblock instruction.

Hard rules

  • Do not cancel or alter any pending ScheduleWakeup. The wakeup prompt checks status via `gk status` and stops when not active, so a stale wakeup is a no-op.
  • Do not touch any state beyond what `gk pause` writes.
