Pre-flight detection of a prior incomplete /session-handoff run that already created a branch, PR, handoff doc, and/or worktree — so the current invocation doesn't open a duplicate PR. Use when (1) you're about to write `docs/handoffs/session_N_handoff.md` as part of /session-handoff, (2) you just created or considered creating a `docs/sN-handoff` branch and `git` reports "branch already exists" or `+` (checked out elsewhere), (3) you find a worktree under `.claude/worktrees/` whose name…

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

# /session-handoff pre-flight: detect prior orphan branch + PR before writing a new handoff doc

## Problem

You're running /session-handoff at the end of a long, multi-step session. You start drafting `docs/handoffs/session_N_handoff.md` in the main checkout. Everything looks fine — `git status` in the main checkout shows the file as untracked, you write 200 lines, you're ready to commit.

Then you go to create the PR branch and `git worktree add` fails with "branch already exists." Or worse, you don't check and silently create a duplicate PR.

Root cause: a prior orchestrator already did most of /session-handoff for this session. That orchestrator:
1. Created branch `docs/sN-handoff` off main
2. Created a worktree (often mis-labeled like `.claude/worktrees/sN+1-handoff` instead of `.claude/worktrees/sN-handoff`)
3. Wrote `docs/handoffs/session_N_handoff.md` in that worktree
4. Committed and pushed to `origin/docs/sN-handoff`
5. Opened a PR (often a thin one with just the handoff doc, missing the rest of the 7-bucket dispatch)
6. Then lost context, was interrupted, or didn't finish the rest of the workflow

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add wan-huiyan/agent-traffic-control/session-handoff-detect-prior-orphan-pr@sha256:24e6fb8b5be0d9d4

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
