+### 1a. Continuation Support Assessment
+
+**Ask the user:**
+"Will this workflow potentially take multiple sessions to complete? Consider:
+
+- Does this workflow generate a document/output file?
+- Might users need to pause and resume the workflow?
+- Does the workflow involve extensive data collection or analysis?
+- Are there complex decisions that might require multiple sessions?
+
+If **YES** to any of these, we should include continuation support using step-01b-continue.md."
+
+**If continuation support is needed:**
+
+- Include step-01-init.md (with continuation detection logic)
+- Include step-01b-continue.md (for resuming workflows)
+- Ensure every step updates `stepsCompleted` in output frontmatter
+- Design the workflow to persist state between sessions

 ### 2. Interaction Pattern Design

+**Check the workflow plan for continuation support:**

+- Look for "continuation support: true" or similar flag
+- Check if step-01b-continue.md was included in the design
