Rehydrates session context and tasks from saved state to ensure seamless continuity between Claude Code sessions.
Handoff Start is a continuity management skill designed for Claude Code that automates the re-entry process into a development session. It acts like a senior engineer briefing an incoming shift by analyzing previously saved state files, checking for file system drift, and programmatically re-hydrating the internal task list. By integrating Git status, PR lists, and specific handoff metadata, it ensures that Claude understands exactly what was accomplished, what blockers remain, and what the immediate next steps are without manual re-explanation.
