Continue work from a handoff note an earlier session wrote. Use when the user says to pick up, continue or carry on from earlier work, or points at a handoff file.

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

# Pick up

**Project copy first.** If the repository has its own `.claude/skills/pick-up/SKILL.md`, read it and follow it instead of this file. A skill installed for all your projects outranks a project skill with the same name, so without this step a repository's own version of this skill would never run.

1. **Find the note.** With a path, use it. With a date, use the newest file in `~/.claude/projects/<project slug>/handoffs/` (`python3 hooks/handoff_notice.py --print-dir` from this repository's install prints it) whose name starts with that date. With nothing, use the newest file there.
2. **Read all of it**, then the issues, PRs, commits and files it points to that the next step depends on. What it records as decided or verified stays decided; do not redo it.
3. **Check for drift.** Compare the repository with the note: the branch, the last commits, `git status`, the state of any PR it names. Report each difference in one line.
4. **Orient the user.** In a short message, say what the note asks for next. If it is more than two weeks old or its branch has already merged, ask whether it still applies. Otherwise start on the first next step.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add ehnruiz/claude-skills/pick-up@sha256:2573e563b56f4d07

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261013.a2d8761, 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.
