What happens if there are multiple handoff files for one ticket?

The skill automatically lists the available files and selects the most recent document based on the YYYY-MM-DD_HH-MM-SS timestamp format in the filename.

How does Resume Handoff locate my files?

The skill searches for markdown files in standardized directory structures, specifically looking in 'thoughts/shared/handoffs/ENG-XXXX/' for ticket-based resumes, or it can accept a direct file path.

Can it automatically start writing code?

It first presents a comprehensive analysis and a proposed action plan. Once you confirm the recommended steps, it uses TodoWrite to set up the task list and begins implementation.

Does this skill verify if my code has changed since the last handoff?

Yes. A core part of the process involves reading mentioned files to verify that 'Recent Changes' are still present and that 'Learnings' remain valid in the current codebase state.
