Hi, I’m curious how others handle unfinished work when using coding tools like CC or Codex. I’ve been using CC since the beginning, and lately I’ve been getting more involved with our company frontend as a side hustle while the devs focus on the backend. Internally we use a shared GitHub Project where issues move through stages like Todo > In Progress >Testing > Done. We also use issue comments (when we remember) to keep track of progress and decisions. To automate some of this I created a Claude skill that pulls the correct issue and moves it between the different stages depending on where Claude is in the workflow. This works really well when I can take an issue from start to finish in one sitting. Where I struggle is with half done tasks. For example, I might pick up an issue, work on it for a few hours, and then have to stop for the day. Since Claude was interrupted before the task was done, it ends up in “In progress”. Then 3–4 days later (sometimes even longer) I come back to the task to continue the work. During this period I might have picked up other issues in the same repo, or been away completely. At that point my first question is always: What has already been completed What is still missing What decisions were made What the next step should be Usually I end up asking Claude to inspect the branch, review the changes, compare them with the issue, figure out where we left off, and then continue from there. For smaller issues this works pretty good, but for larger tasks it starts becoming more complicated and time consuming. So I’m curious how you handle this in your workflows, especially when you stop working on something before it’s finished. Do you use something like Linear, Trello, GitHub Projects, Todoist, Notion, etc. to break down tasks to track them? Or do you have a simple TODO.md file with CLAUDE.md instructions? Very curious to hear what your workflow looks like and how you make it easier to resume a task after being away from it for a few days. submitted by /u/ndr0x7bf
