nw-continue

nw-continue is a skill for Claude Code from nWave-ai/nWave. It costs 28 tokens per session (1,127 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow helper that checks the saved files for an unfinished feature and identifies its current stage. It can then start the next stage.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps resume feature work stored in docs/feature/ directories, choose among active projects, and detect missing or unusual progress files.
Why use it?
Returning to a project after a break often means manually searching files to remember what is done. This helper summarizes the progress and points to the next action.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

nw-continue scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

NW-CONTINUE: Resume a Feature

Wave: CROSS_WAVE (entry point) | Agent: Main Instance (self — wizard) | Command: /nw-continue

Overview

Scans docs/feature/ for active projects, detects wave artifacts, displays progress summary, launches next wave command. Eliminates manual artifact inspection when returning after hours/days.

You (main Claude instance) run this wizard directly. No subagent delegation.

Behavior Flow

Step 1: Scan for Projects

If project ID provided as argument, use it directly.

Otherwise scan docs/feature/ for project directories:

ls -d docs/feature/*/

No directories found: Display "No active projects found under docs/feature/." Suggest /nw-new. Stop.

Step 2: Project Selection (Multiple Projects)

If multiple directories exist, list by most recent file modification:

find docs/feature/{feature-id}/ -type f -printf '%T@ %p\n' | sort -rn | head -1

Present via AskUserQuestion: project name|last modified date|most recent first. Ask user to select.

Step 3: Wave Progress Detection

Check each wave's artifacts using Wave Detection Rules in ~/.claude/nWave/skills/common/wizard-shared-rules.md.

Step 4: Anomaly Detection

Check before showing progress:

Empty/corrupted artifacts: Verify file size > 0 for each "complete" artifact. If empty, flag: "Warning: user-stories.md exists but is empty (0 bytes). Recommend re-running DISCUSS wave."

Non-adjacent waves (skipped): If artifacts exist for non-consecutive waves (e.g., DISCUSS + DELIVER but no DESIGN/DISTILL), warn with options:

  1. Fill the gap — start from missing wave
  2. Continue as-is
  3. Show all artifacts for manual review

Step 5: DELIVER Progress Detail

If DELIVER in progress, show step-level detail:

  • Read docs/feature/{id}/deliver/execution-log.json — count COMMIT/PASS steps, find first without COMMIT/PASS
  • Read .develop-progress.json if exists: check last failure point
  • Display: "DELIVER in progress: Steps 01-01 through 02-01 complete. Next: 02-02"
