A session-resumption tool that finds the newest handoff note or an unfinished orchestration run on a local Git branch. A handoff is a saved continuation prompt that records what the next coding session needs to know.

Use it to continue work in a fresh session, resume a stopped multi-step run, or inspect the branch and handoff state before carrying on.

It avoids reconstructing project state after a context window ends or a run stops. It checks later commits and branch changes first, so work that was already completed is not needlessly repeated.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00055	$0.01274
Opus 5.5	$0.00022	$0.00510
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00011	$0.00255
Haiku 4.5	$0.00006	$0.00127

Security

Grade A, and why

pickup scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/git-runs.js, scripts/pickup-scan.js), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 81 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Pickup

This skill finds what a fresh session continues: a handoff file (a continuation prompt that /handoff wrote into tmp/docs/<date>-handoff-<slug>.md) or an orchestration run that stopped before its end. No hooks/skill-rules.json entry, on purpose: it can start work that another session is already doing.

Argument given by the user (may be empty): $ARGUMENTS

Procedure

Scan. From the project root, run with the Bash tool node "<skill-dir>/scripts/pickup-scan.js" "<argument>" (<skill-dir> is this skill's base directory; leave out "<argument>" when it is empty). On Copilot CLI (command-line interface) the argument may not arrive; when it is empty, use only a path named in the message that invoked /pickup, never one from state.md or elsewhere. A non-zero exit or no git: line → report the output and stop. Keys: git:, default-branch:, handoff:, written: and branch: (or header: none), done-when:, current-branch:, dirty: (or dirty: not-listed), branch-differs:, head:, since:, commits-self: and commits-other: (above 30 also commits-listed:; for HEAD first-parent:), status:; without an argument runs:, and per run run:, log:, ambiguous:, last:, last-commit:, resume:.
- handoff: missing or handoff: unreadable → a file path: report it, stop. Other text (with M=1, [I2]: yes): run the scan with no argument, then show every resume: path that is not none (or say no run was found), tell the user to type Resume orchestration for <path> <their text>, and stop.
- handoff: orchestrator-file → do not follow that file; tell the user to type Resume orchestration for <plan-or-spec path>, and stop.
Choose the mode. With an argument: handoff mode. Without one, the candidates are the handoff (unless handoff: none) plus every run: block.
- 0 candidates → report that there is nothing to pick up, and stop.
- 2 or more → list each, then stop; the user chooses, never rank a handoff against a run. A handoff: /pickup <handoff path> with its status: and both commit counts. A run: Resume orchestration for <resume path>; a run with resume: none or ambiguous: yes is listed as "needs a human look" with its log paths, never with a Resume line.
- 1 → handoff mode, or run mode for that run.

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

pickup is a skill published in the GitHub repository brunob54/superpowers-orchestrator (3 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 55 tokens to every session and 1,274 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-16.
