Resume

pitway resume

resume is PitWay's orientation command: what's going on in this repository, and what's next. It reconstructs workflow state entirely from the committed contents of .pitway/ -- never from AI conversation memory -- which is what makes it safe to run from a brand-new session, a different machine, or a different coding agent entirely and still land on the same answer.

Not a first-run command

On a freshly initialized repository with no milestone yet, resume has nothing to reconstruct: it reports that there's no active milestone and points at milestone-add. The real first-run flow is npm install -g pitway then pitway init -- resume becomes useful once there's actual workflow state to pick back up.

Recovery, including mid-flight quick-change

Beyond routine orientation, resume is the authoritative recovery view if a quick-change is left mid-flight, or after any interrupted session -- since PitWay's state lives in committed files rather than a conversation, there is no separate "resume this AI chat" step; resuming the workflow is resuming the work.
