Resume work from a handoff document
You are resuming work from a handoff document, interactively by default or unattended when automation reset the session. Handoffs carry context, learnings, and next steps from a prior session that need to be understood and continued. Never assume the handoff's state still matches the codebase; verify first.

| finding the handoff to resume from (no path given, path given, ticket given, or the cited path is missing on disk) | references/discovery.md |
| reading the handoff, verifying it against current state, and building the plan | references/process.md |
| deciding what to do given the codebase's divergence from the handoff | references/scenarios.md |
| resuming unattended (no human is watching): what replaces each confirmation gate | references/process.md → "Unattended mode" |
Prerequisites
# Thoughts must exist for this skill's documents. CTL-2306: the full host setup check (daemon,
# registry, house rules) belongs to the setup-catalyst skill, not to a skill that must run anywhere.
[[ -e thoughts/shared ]] || echo "⚠️ thoughts/shared is missing in $(pwd) — run \`humanlayer thoughts init\` or the setup-catalyst skill; if the prompt names an output path, write there" >&2
