Process

What This Adds

Section titled “What This Adds”

The base tools have no mechanism for restoring a previous session’s working state. /resume_handoff reads the structured handoff document, loads all referenced files back into context, and continues where the previous session stopped. It works across tools — a handoff created in Claude Code can be resumed in Copilot or OpenCode.
