Command definition

takeoff.md
name: takeoff
description: Create, resume, or clear a session hand-off baton (one per work line)
argument-hint: "[topic | resume [topic] | done [topic]]"
allowed-tools:
  - Read
  - Write
  - Bash

Invoke the `cortexes:cortex-takeoff` skill and follow it. Command frontmatter cannot load a skill for you, so invoke it explicitly with its fully qualified name via the Skill tool.

  • No argument or `<topic>`: create — curate the current session into that

work line's baton (without a topic the skill reuses or derives one).

  • `resume [topic]`: load a pending baton and continue (do not delete it).
  • `done [topic]`: clear a baton (soft-delete; defaults to the baton this

session resumed, otherwise refuses and lists the candidates).

Follow the skill's full process, including the `takeoff.sh prepare` git-safety preflight before writing and the explicit-cwd rule for every takeoff.sh call.
