What it tells the agent

The instruction file, verbatim from the audited commit — this is the text the model reads, and the surface the audit's instruction layer examines. Quoted here so you can judge it without cloning anything.

# 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:
```bash
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:
```bash
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"

### Step 6: Progress Display

```
Feature: {feature-id}

  DISCOVER   ○ not started
  DISCUSS    ● complete
  DESIGN     ● complete
  DISTILL    ◐ in progress
  DELIVER    ○ not started

  Next: DISTILL — Create acceptance tests
```

Symbols: ● complete | ◐ in progress | ○ not started

### Step 7: Recommendation and Launch

Recommend next wave: resume in-progress wave|successor of last complete wave. Show via AskUserQuestion for confirmation. After confirmation, invoke recommended wave command by reading its task file, passing project ID as argument.

## Error Handling

| Error | Response |
|-------|----------|
| No `docs/feature/` directory | Suggest `/nw-new` |
| Empty project directory | Suggest `/nw-new` or re-run from DISCUSS |
| Corrupted artifact (0 bytes) | Flag file, recommend re-running that wave |
| Skipped waves | Warn, offer gap-fill or continue options |
| Cannot parse execution-log.json | Show raw file status, suggest manual review |

## Success Criteria

- [ ] Projects scanned from `docs/feature/`
- [ ] Project selected (auto or user choice)
- [ ] Wave progress detected accurately from artifact presence
- [ ] Anomalies flagged (empty files, skipped waves)
- [ ] DELIVER step-level progress shown when applicable
- [ ] Progress summary displayed
- [ ] Next wave recommended and launched after user confirmation

## Examples

### Example 1: Single project, resume at DESIGN
```
/nw-continue
```
Wizard finds one project: `notification-service`. DISCUSS artifacts exist (complete), no DESIGN artifacts. Shows progress, recommends DESIGN. User confirms, wizard launches `/nw-design notification-service`.

### Example 2: DELIVER resume
```
/nw-continue rate-limiting
```
Wizard checks `rate-limiting` project. All waves through DISTILL complete, DELIVER in progress (steps 01-01 through 02-01 done). Shows "Next: step 02-02", launches `/nw-deliver "rate-limiting"`.

### Example 3: Multiple projects
```
/nw-continue
```
Wizard finds `rate-limiting` (modified today) and `user-notifications` (modified 3 days ago). Lists them, user picks `rate-limiting`. Wizard shows progress and recommends next wave.

### Example 4: No projects
```
/nw-continue
```
Wizard finds no `docs/feature/` directories. Shows "No active projects found" and suggests `/nw-new`.

Questions

What does the Nw Continue skill do?

AI agents that guide you from idea to working code, with you in control at every step.

Is Nw Continue safe to install?

The audit found nothing in the source that contradicts what it says it does, and graded it B (89/100). Grade A is held back for packages that have also passed a sandboxed behavioural run, which is why a clean skill reads B.

What can Nw Continue access on my machine?

The audit observed no filesystem, network or shell use at all in its source.

How current is this page?

The grade is for one exact copy of the source (1a864ec81cde), read on 2026-10-14. The repository is watched, and a new audit runs when it changes — this is the first audit.
