/crucible-continue

Resume your Crucible project from wherever you left off.

CRITICAL: How to Present Options

When presenting choices to the user, you MUST use the AskUserQuestion tool.

WRONG - Never do this:

Would you like to:
A) Continue planning
B) Review premise
C) Start fresh
D) Something else

RIGHT - Always do this:

Use the AskUserQuestion tool with this format:

{
  "questions": [
    {
      "header": "Continue",
      "question": "How would you like to proceed?",
      "options": [
        {"label": "Continue planning", "description": "Resume from current position"},
        {"label": "Review premise", "description": "Check the premise before continuing"},
        {"label": "Start fresh", "description": "Begin planning with a new premise"},
        {"label": "Something else", "description": "Do something different"}
      ],
      "multiSelect": false
    }
  ]
}

Execution Steps

1. Read state files to determine current phase
2. Display project status as plain text (title, phase, progress)
3. Use AskUserQuestion tool to present options (NOT plain text A/B/C/D)
4. Invoke the appropriate skill based on user selection

State Files to Check

• .crucible/state/planning-state.json - Planning progress
• .crucible/state/outline-state.json - Outlining progress
• .crucible/state/draft-state.json - Writing progress
• .crucible/state/edit-state.json - Editing progress

CRITICAL: Planning Completion Check

Planning has TWO phases that must BOTH be complete:

1. Phase 2 (Q&A): All 9 documents marked complete in progress.documents_complete
2. Phase 3 (Compilation): Actual planning files generated by compile_documents.py

To verify planning is truly complete, check for actual files:

# Check if planning documents were generated
ls <project_path>/planning/crucible-thesis.md

If Q&A is done (9/9 docs) but crucible-thesis.md does NOT exist:

• Planning is NOT complete - Phase 3 was never run
• Report: "Q&A complete but planning documents not generated"
• Offer to run compilation:

  python <plugin_path>/skills/crucible-planner/scripts/compile_documents.py "<project_path>"
