Resume work from a handoff document
Command definition
resume.mddescription: Resume work from a handoff document
Resume work from a handoff created by another AI agent.
1. Find and Read the Handoff
Look for the handoff document:
- If `$ARGUMENTS` is provided, read that path
- Otherwise, check for `HANDOFF.md` in the current directory
- If not found, ask the user for the path
Read the entire handoff document carefully.
2. Verify State Hasn't Drifted
Run `git status` and `git log --oneline -3` to check:
- Is the branch the same as documented?
- Have there been commits since the handoff was created?
- Are there uncommitted changes not mentioned in the handoff?
If state has drifted significantly, warn the user: > "The repo has changed since this handoff was created. [describe changes]. Should I proceed with the handoff context anyway, or would you like to describe what changed?"
3. Summarize to the User
Give a brief summary (not the whole document):
Resuming from handoff: [title]
Goal: [1 sentence]
Status: [X of Y tasks complete]
Next: [First item from Resume Instructions]
Ready to continue?
4. Heed the Warnings
Pay special attention to:
- **Failed Approaches** - Don't repeat these mistakes
- **Warnings** - Respect gotchas from the previous agent
- **Key Decisions** - Follow established patterns unless user asks to change
5. Continue the Work
Start with the first item in "Resume Instructions" unless the user redirects.
If the handoff is unclear on something critical, ask the user rather than guessing.
