State File (state.json)

Maintained in DOCUMENT_DIR/state.json for resumability:

{
  "current_step": "module-analysis",
  "completed_steps": ["discovery"],
  "focus_dir": null,
  "modules_total": 12,
  "modules_documented": ["utils/helpers", "models/user"],
  "modules_remaining": ["services/auth", "api/endpoints"],
  "module_batch": 1,
  "components_written": [],
  "last_updated": "2026-03-21T14:00:00Z"
}

Update after each module/component completes. If interrupted, resume from next undocumented module.

Resume Protocol

1. Read state.json
2. Cross-check against actual files in DOCUMENT_DIR (trust files over state if they disagree)
3. Continue from the next incomplete item
4. Inform user which steps are being skipped

Save Principles

1. Save immediately: write each module doc as soon as analysis completes
2. Incremental context: each subsequent module uses already-written docs as context
3. Preserve intermediates: keep all module docs even after synthesis into component docs
4. Enable recovery: state file tracks exact progress for resume
