Pickup

When a session opens on a ready-for-human ticket, do not reflexively re-run /grill-with-docs. The agent brief is the contract — verify it against current code, then execute.

Why this skill exists

ready-for-human means two things:

  1. The spec is locked (intent has been grilled)
  2. The four-pass discipline in /grill-with-docs was completed (surfaces traced, consumers grepped, branches enumerated, CONTEXT.md updated)

A full re-grill at pickup is wasted cost — it re-opens resolved questions. But triage runs at the issue tracker level, and the codebase may have drifted since the brief was written. Pickup is a verification pass against that brief — not a re-grilling cycle.

If you find yourself wanting to re-grill at pickup, that's a signal that either (a) the brief is genuinely incomplete (a triage discipline failure — escalate) or (b) you're slipping back into the old reflex (resist).

Procedure

1. Read the agent brief
