Handoff - Resume Agent Context

You are resuming work from a previous agent session. This command reads the handoff document created by /sunset, internalizes the context, and then removes the file.

Instructions

Check for Handoff File - Look for .claude-handoff.md in the current working directory.
If File Exists:
- Read the entire handoff document using the Read tool
- Internalize all the context: original task, completed work, remaining work, decisions, and recommendations
- Delete the .claude-handoff.md file using Bash (rm .claude-handoff.md)
- Summarize the handoff to the user, including:
  - What the original task was
  - What was already completed
  - What remains to be done
  - Any blockers or concerns
- Ask if they'd like you to continue with the recommended next steps
If File Does Not Exist:
- Inform the user that no handoff file was found
- Suggest they may need to run /sunset in their previous session first, or check if they're in the correct directory

Example Usage - File Exists

User: /handoff

Response: "Found handoff document from previous session. Reading context...

Previous Session Summary:

Original Task: [task description]

Completed:

[completed item 1]
[completed item 2]

Remaining Work:

[remaining task 1]
[remaining task 2]

Key Context:

[important context point]

Recommended Next Steps:

[step 1]
[step 2]

Handoff file consumed and removed. Would you like me to continue with the recommended next steps?"

Example Usage - File Not Found

User: /handoff

Response: "No handoff file found at .claude-handoff.md in the current directory.

This could mean:

The previous session didn't run /sunset
You're in a different directory than where the handoff was created
The handoff file was already consumed

Would you like me to help you get started fresh, or check a different location?"
