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

# Resume work from a handoff document

You are resuming work from a handoff document, interactively by default or unattended when automation reset the session. Handoffs carry context, learnings, and next steps from a prior session that need to be understood and continued. Never assume the handoff's state still matches the codebase; verify first.

## Load on demand

| when | read |
| -- | -- |
| finding the handoff to resume from (no path given, path given, ticket given, or the cited path is missing on disk) | [`references/discovery.md`](references/discovery.md) |
| reading the handoff, verifying it against current state, and building the plan | [`references/process.md`](references/process.md) |
| deciding what to do given the codebase's divergence from the handoff | [`references/scenarios.md`](references/scenarios.md) |
| resuming unattended (no human is watching): what replaces each confirmation gate | [`references/process.md`](references/process.md) → "Unattended mode" |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add coalesce-labs/catalyst/resume-handoff@sha256:3d98b79929239bf1

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.
