resume-handoff

resume-handoff is a skill for Claude Code from juicesharp/rpiv-pi. It costs 40 tokens per session (1,738 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of resume-handoff, MIT.

A workflow for continuing coding work from a handoff document, which records what a previous session discovered and what remains.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it at the start of a new session when another developer or agent has left a handoff with implementation, research, plan, or solution files.
Why use it?
It restores context and checks the current state before work continues, reducing repeated investigation and missed next steps.

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

resume-handoff 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 12d ago.

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.

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:

  1. 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 using the Read tool
    • Immediately read any research or plan documents that it links to under thoughts/shared/plans or thoughts/shared/research or thoughts/shared/solutions. Read these critical files DIRECTLY using the Read tool - do NOT invoke skills for this initial reading phase.
    • 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.
  2. If no parameters provided, respond with:

I'll help you resume work from a handoff document. Let me find the available handoffs.

Which handoff would you like to resume from?

Tip: You can invoke this command directly with a handoff path: `/skill:resume-handoff thoughts/shared/handoffs/YYYY-MM-DD_HH-MM-SS_description.md`

Then wait for the user's input.

Process Steps

Step 1: Read and Analyze Handoff

  1. Read handoff document completely:

    • Use the Read tool WITHOUT limit/offset parameters
    • Extract all sections:
      • Task(s) and their statuses
      • Recent changes
      • Learnings
      • Artifacts
      • Action items and next steps
      • Other notes
  2. Spawn focused research agents: After reading all critical handoff/plan/research documents directly, spawn parallel general-purpose agents via the Agent tool to verify current codebase state and gather additional context:

    Task 1 - Gather artifact context:
    Read all artifacts mentioned in the handoff.
    1. Read feature documents listed in "Artifacts"
    2. Read implementation plans referenced
    3. Read any research documents mentioned
    4. Extract key requirements and decisions
    Use tools: Read
    Return: Summary of artifact contents and key decisions

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.
