description: "Create context handoff when pausing work mid-phase"

<objective> Create `.continue-here.md` handoff file to preserve complete work state across sessions.

Routes to the pause-work workflow which handles:

• Current phase detection from recent files
• Complete state gathering (position, completed work, remaining work, decisions, blockers)
• Handoff file creation with all context sections
• Git commit as WIP
• Resume instructions

</objective>

<execution_context> @~/.claude/gsd-core/workflows/pause-work.md </execution_context>

<context> State and phase progress are gathered in-workflow with targeted reads. </context>

<process> If `--report` is in $ARGUMENTS: Read and execute `~/.claude/gsd-core/workflows/session-report.md` end-to-end.

**Follow the pause-work workflow**.

The workflow handles all logic including: 1. Phase directory detection 2. State gathering with user clarifications 3. Handoff file writing with timestamp 4. Git commit 5. Confirmation with resume instructions </process>
