Continuity-First Dev Workflow
A continuity-first workflow keeps sessions alive, replays output, and minimizes rework.
Published: 2026-01-04 · Last updated: 2026-01-04
A continuity-first workflow assumes the session will outlive the connection. It removes rework by making resume the default.
The workflow in short
- keep the session alive,
- replay output after gaps,
- resume without rebuilding context.
Why it compounds value
Each reconnect costs attention. Continuity eliminates the reset tax and keeps deep work intact.
