What problem does it solve?
It removes the friction of restarting a new coding session by automatically loading your latest Clade handoff and continuing with the same goal and next steps.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Finds the latest handoff: Locates the most recent
.claude/handoff-*.md file and reads it end-to-end.
- Resumes safely with context checks: Verifies current git branch/status and flags mismatches or stale handoffs (age > 48 hours).
- Handles blocked work explicitly: If the handoff lists blockers, it presents them and pauses for you to resolve before continuing.
Use case: After running overnight, you start a new session and want the AI to pick up the exact remaining tasks (and not repeat completed steps), even if you changed branches or the repo state drifted.
Quick Start
Run /pickup at the start of a new session in your git repo to resume from the newest .claude/handoff-*.md file when it exists.
