What's inside
The instructions your model reads when the skill loads.
SKILL.md23 linessingle file
Read and load the handoff document at $ARGUMENTS[0].
Steps
Read the file at the provided path. If the path does not exist, list files in claudedocs/handoffs/ and ask the user which one to load.
Parse and confirm:
Task and scope
Files involved (with line numbers)
Key discoveries
Work completed so far
Current status
Next steps (ordered)
Confirm understanding: Summarize what you have loaded in 3-5 bullet points. Ask: "Should I proceed with the next step, or do you want to adjust the plan first?"
Do not start working until the user confirms. The confirmation step is mandatory.
Notes
If the handoff file references commits (commit: abc1234), note them but do not re-run the work.
If next steps are unclear or conflicting, flag it before proceeding.
The "Work Done" section is the authoritative record of what has been completed. Trust it.
