The dr-continue-snapshot-replay Skill — Deprecated Alias

A short note on a deprecated skill alias and where its consumer contract moved.

dr-continue-snapshot-replay is a deprecated alias. The consumer contract it once defined — how /dr-next reads a stage snapshot and assembles the resume prompt — now lives in the dr-next-snapshot-replay skill.

The alias was retained for one release cycle to avoid breaking references in older task histories and archived documentation. No new instructions or integrations should cite it.

Why it was split

The original skill name coupled two concepts: the deprecated command alias /dr-continue and the snapshot replay mechanism. The mechanism is shared by both /dr-next and the orchestrator. Keeping the contract in a file named after a deprecated command made the shared behaviour harder to find. Moving it to dr-next-snapshot-replay aligns the skill name with the primary consumer.
