Save a compact handoff checkpoint and resume work in a fresh session without replaying the entire transcript via `--resume`. SAVE trigger — the slash command `/handoff-revive:save` (carries forward still-relevant goal/decisions/lessons from any existing handoff, then runs a content-quality check). AUTO-SAVE trigger — when the UserPromptSubmit hook injects "5-hour usage at N%" context (run SAVE flow without asking, prepend brief notice). RESUME trigger — the slash command…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# handoff-revive

Save the minimum state needed to continue work later, so the next session can start fresh (NOT via `--resume` / `-c`) and reload only a small file.

## Why not `claude --resume`

`--resume` and `-c` replay the entire prior transcript into context. For a typical session this costs **tens of thousands of tokens** (often **100k+ for long sessions**) before the user even asks anything. A handoff file costs **1,000–3,000 tokens**. Always prefer the handoff file when one exists.

## Two modes

### Mode 1: SAVE (`/handoff-revive:save`)

Triggered ONLY by:
- User runs the slash command `/handoff-revive:save`
- The UserPromptSubmit hook injects auto-save context (see Mode 1c below)

Do **NOT** trigger on natural-language phrases like "save handoff", "checkpoint", "ハンドオフ", "保存", "保存して中断". Users are expected to use the slash command. If a user types one of those phrases without the slash command, treat it as a regular message (gently remind them they can run `/handoff-revive:save` if they want to save).

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add sofumel/claude-handoff-revive/handoff-revive@sha256:0fc4f889ad7ede9a

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260625.c22f8de, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
