Handoff Resume
Resume a prior session from a handoff — verifying before operating.
Announce: "Using the handoff-resume skill to pick up a prior session."
When to use
- The user runs
/handoff-resume. helloreported open handoffs at session start.
Procedure
- Call
handoff_resume(the MCP tool, orvmem handoff-resume) with noclaimargument — this returns the live set of open handoffs. - Branch on the count:
- 0 — nothing to resume; stop here.
- 1 — carry it forward.
- >1 — interactive pick: present one option per handoff (its scope, the writing agent, a one-line state), pre-flagging any that look stale; let the user choose.
- Claim the chosen handoff — call
handoff_resumeagain withclaim: <id>. Claiming archives it so a parallel session resuming concurrently cannot re-grab it. - Do the recipient diligence the handoff's slot-6 advisory calls for, before operating. Verify the slot-3 "where it stands" state against current reality. Re-confirm any decision or approval recorded in slot 2. The handoff carries its claims honestly, but the world may have moved.
- Present the reconciled picture and the concrete pick-up point to the user.
Why verify
The handoff author distinguished what was done from what was believed, but cannot know what changed since. Verification is the recipient's job — do it before you operate, not after.
