From gsd
Resumes work from a previous session by restoring full project context, including handoff state, project status, and routing to next action. Useful for continuing interrupted work.

Detect handoff state.
Check for .planning/HANDOFF.json via Read tool. If missing, the session has no handoff — announce "No handoff found" and proceed to normal /gsd:progress routing.
Load STATE.md.
Read .planning/STATE.md to restore the big-picture project position. If missing, reconstruct from .planning/ROADMAP.md and the latest phase directory's SUMMARY.md files; if reconstruction fails, surface the error and stop.
Read the handoff.
Parse .planning/HANDOFF.json. Extract phase, plan, task, status, source, uncommitted_files, decisions, context_notes, next_action. Per HANDOFF schema, all fields are always present (empty arrays / null for unset).
Present project status. Emit a compact status block covering:
progress.percent).next_action string verbatim — it's the resumption hint.Route to the next action. Offer 1-3 concrete options based on handoff state. Common patterns:
/gsd:execute-phase with the current phase./gsd:plan-phase or /gsd:execute-phase for the next phase.Clean up the handoff (LIFE-01). After routing — once steps 1-5 have completed without error — remove the handoff file:
node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT:-$(ls -d "$HOME/.claude/plugins/cache/gsd-plugin/gsd/"*/ 2>/dev/null|sort -V|tail -1)}/bin/gsd-tools.cjs" checkpoint --clear
If the command is unavailable for any reason, fall back to direct removal:
rm -f .planning/HANDOFF.json
Do not abort the resume if cleanup fails — it's hygiene, not correctness. The next session's SessionStart will overwrite a stale handoff anyway (per D-05 from Phase 4: latest snapshot wins).

Resumes coding sessions by detecting blockers, reconciling STATE.md with filesystem, and suggesting next actions from checkpoints or plans.
