Resume Handoff

This handles resuming Claude Code sessions from handoff documents, which is essential if you're working in longer sprints or across multiple sessions. It reads the handoff file you point it to, pulls in any linked research or plan documents from the thoughts directory, and immediately proposes next steps based on what was left off. Part of the continuous-claude-v3 toolkit with nearly 4K GitHub stars and 400 installs. The workflow is smart: it skips the greeting and dives straight into context if you pass a path, or asks for one if you don't. Honestly a must-have if you're doing any serious project work where context preservation matters more than starting fresh every time.

Resume work from a handoff document

You are tasked with resuming work from a handoff document through an interactive process. These handoffs contain critical context, learnings, and next steps from previous work sessions that need to be understood and continued.

Initial Response

When this command is invoked:

If the path to a handoff document was provided:
- If a handoff document path was provided as a parameter, skip the default message
- Immediately read the handoff document FULLY
- Immediately read any research or plan documents that it links to under thoughts/shared/plans or thoughts/shared/research. do NOT use a sub-agent to read these critical files.
- Begin the analysis process by ingesting relevant context from the handoff document, reading additional files it mentions
- Then propose a course of action to the user and confirm, or ask for clarification on direction.
