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.
