/resume_handoff

Resume work from a handoff document created by /create_handoff. The agent reads the handoff, restores context, and continues where the previous session left off.

Usage

/resume_handoff thoughts/shared/handoffs/ENG-1234/2026-03-08_14-30-00_ENG-1234_feature-name.md
/resume_handoff ENG-1234

A ticket number picks the newest handoff under that ticket (syncing thoughts first on the git backend).

Process

1. Read the handoff. Loads the handoff document and understands the current state
2. Restore context. Reads all referenced files and understands what was done
3. Verify. Spawns a cartographer per in-flight area and an archivist for what shipped since, then checks every claim in the handoff against the tree
4. Confirm and continue. Presents what still holds, waits for your go-ahead, shows the task list, and only then starts work
