What is superpowers-ruby:handoff-resume?

A session-resume workflow that reads the latest unfinished handoff document and restores the previous work context.

Use it when starting a new session after another agent or session left an unrestored handoff in docs/handoffs/.

It helps continue an interrupted task without losing the earlier decisions, findings, or remaining 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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00038	$0.00778
Opus 5	$0.00019	$0.00389
Sonnet 5	$0.00008	$0.00156
Haiku 4.5	$0.00004	$0.00078

Security

Grade A, and why

superpowers-ruby:handoff-resume 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 10d 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.

Handoff Resume

Overview

Resume work from a previously created handoff document. Finds the latest unrestored handoff, reads it, marks it as consumed, archives it, and sets up the session to continue from where the previous session left off.

Core principle: Read the handoff, understand the context, then continue from Next Steps.

Announce at start: "I'm using the handoff-resume skill to restore session context."

When to Use

Starting a new session to continue previous work
After a session was ended without completing work
When a colleague or agent left a handoff for you
When you see handoff documents exist in docs/handoffs/

Don't use when:

Context was just compacted (the PostCompact hook handles this automatically)
There is no handoff document to resume from

The Process

Step 1: Find Unrestored Handoffs

# Look for handoff files with restored: false
ls docs/handoffs/*.md 2>/dev/null

Read each file's frontmatter and filter for restored: false. Sort by created date, newest first.

Step 2: Select Handoff

If one unrestored handoff exists: Use it automatically.

If multiple unrestored handoffs exist: Present them and ask which to resume:

Found multiple unrestored handoffs:

| # | Date | Topic | Branch |
|---|------|-------|--------|
| 1 | 2026-04-14 | handoff-skill | lg/handoff |
| 2 | 2026-04-13 | auth-refactor | fix/auth |

Which handoff should I resume from?

If no unrestored handoffs exist: Check the archive:

ls docs/handoffs/_archive/*.md 2>/dev/null

If archived handoffs exist, list them and offer to re-open one. If none exist at all, inform the user.

Step 3: Read and Present

Read the full handoff document. Present a summary:

Resuming from handoff: <topic>
- Branch: <branch>
- Created: <date>
- Goal: <goal summary>
- Next steps: <count> items
- Files to read: <count> documents

Step 4: Mark as Restored and Archive

Update the handoff file's frontmatter:

Set restored: true
Add restored_at: <ISO 8601 UTC timestamp>

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.
