Continuation Format

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

Core Structure

Copy---

## ▶ Next Up

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

`{command to copy-paste}`

<sub>`/clear` first → fresh context window</sub>

---

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

---

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 explanation — always include, keeps it concise but explains why
5. "Also available" not "Other options" — sounds more app-like
6. Visual separators — --- above and below to make it stand out

Pulling Context

For phases (from ROADMAP.md):

Copy### 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):

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

Or from PLAN.md <objective>:

Copy<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)

Copy## To Continue

Run `/clear`, then paste:
/gwd:execute-plan .planning/phases/02-auth/02-03-PLAN.md

User has no idea what 02-03 is about.

Don't: Missing /clear explanation

Copy`/gwd:plan-phase 3`

Run /clear first.

Doesn't explain why. User might skip it.

Don't: "Other options" language

CopyOther options:
- Review roadmap

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

Don't: Fenced code blocks for commands

Copy

/gwd:plan-phase 3

Copy

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