Continuation Format

Standard format for presenting next steps after completing a command or workflow.

Core Structure

---

## ▶ Next Up — [${PROJECT_CODE}] ${PROJECT_TITLE}

**{identifier}: {name}** — {one-line description}

`/clear` then:

`{command to copy-paste}`

---

**Also available:**
- `{alternative option 1}` — description
- `{alternative option 2}` — description

---

If project_code is not set in the init context, omit the project identity suffix: ## ▶ Next Up (no — [CODE] Title).

Format Rules

1. Always show what it is — name + description, never just a command path
2. Pull context from source — ROADMAP.md for phases, PLAN.md <objective> for plans
3. Command in inline code — backticks, easy to copy-paste, renders as clickable link
4. /clear first — always show /clear before the command so users run it in the correct order
5. "Also available" not "Other options" — sounds more app-like
6. Visual separators — --- above and below to make it stand out
7. Project identity in heading — include [PROJECT_CODE] PROJECT_TITLE from init context so handoffs are self-identifying across sessions. If project_code is not set, omit the suffix entirely (just ## ▶ Next Up)

Variants

Execute Next Plan

---

## ▶ Next Up — [${PROJECT_CODE}] ${PROJECT_TITLE}

**02-03: Refresh Token Rotation** — Add /api/auth/refresh with sliding expiry

`/clear` then:

`/gsd-execute-phase 2`

---

**Also available:**
- Review plan before executing
- `/gsd-discuss-phase 2 --assumptions` — check assumptions

---

Execute Final Plan in Phase

Add note that this is the last plan and what comes after:

---

## ▶ Next Up — [${PROJECT_CODE}] ${PROJECT_TITLE}

**02-03: Refresh Token Rotation** — Add /api/auth/refresh with sliding expiry
<sub>Final plan in Phase 2</sub>

`/clear` then:

`/gsd-execute-phase 2`

---

**After this completes:**
- Phase 2 → Phase 3 transition
- Next: **Phase 3: Core Features** — User dashboard and settings

---

Plan a Phase

---

## ▶ Next Up — [${PROJECT_CODE}] ${PROJECT_TITLE}

**Phase 2: Authentication** — JWT login flow with refresh tokens

`/clear` then:

`/gsd-plan-phase 2`

---

**Also available:**
- `/gsd-discuss-phase 2` — gather context first
- `/gsd-plan-phase --research-phase 2` — investigate unknowns
- Review roadmap

---

Phase Complete, Ready for Next

Show completion status before next action:

---

## ✓ Phase 2 Complete

3/3 plans executed

## ▶ Next Up — [${PROJECT_CODE}] ${PROJECT_TITLE}

**Phase 3: Core Features** — User dashboard, settings, and data export

`/clear` then:

`/gsd-plan-phase 3`

---

**Also available:**
- `/gsd-discuss-phase 3` — gather context first
- `/gsd-plan-phase --research-phase 3` — investigate unknowns
- Review what Phase 2 built

---

Multiple Equal Options

When there's no clear primary action:

---

## ▶ Next Up — [${PROJECT_CODE}] ${PROJECT_TITLE}

**Phase 3: Core Features** — User dashboard, settings, and data export

`/clear` then one of:

**To plan directly:** `/gsd-plan-phase 3`

**To discuss context first:** `/gsd-discuss-phase 3`

**To research unknowns:** `/gsd-plan-phase --research-phase 3`

---

Milestone Complete

---

## 🎉 Milestone v1.0 Complete

All 4 phases shipped

## ▶ Next Up — [${PROJECT_CODE}] ${PROJECT_TITLE}

**Start v1.1** — questioning → research → requirements → roadmap

`/clear` then:

`/gsd-new-milestone`

---

Pulling Context

For phases (from ROADMAP.md):

### Phase 2: Authentication
**Goal**: JWT login flow with refresh tokens

Extract: **Phase 2: Authentication** — JWT login flow with refresh tokens

For plans (from ROADMAP.md):

Plans:
- [ ] 02-03: Add refresh token rotation

Or from PLAN.md <objective>:

<objective>
Add refresh token rotation with sliding expiry window.

Purpose: Extend session lifetime without compromising security.
</objective>

Extract: **02-03: Refresh Token Rotation** — Add /api/auth/refresh with sliding expiry

Anti-Patterns

Don't: Command-only (no context)

## To Continue

Run `/clear`, then paste:
/gsd-execute-phase 2

User has no idea what 02-03 is about.

Don't: Missing /clear explanation

`/gsd-plan-phase 3`

Run /clear first.

Doesn't explain why. User might skip it.

Don't: "Other options" language

Other options:
- Review roadmap

Sounds like an afterthought. Use "Also available:" instead.

Don't: Fenced code blocks for commands

/gsd-plan-phase 3

Fenced blocks inside templates create nesting ambiguity. Use inline backticks instead.
