Resume prior work from a saved subagent-mcp handoff when the user says "handoff-resume", "resume handoff", or "resume work"; call handoff-read, then confirm intent with exactly 4 structured questions before acting, and know the handoff-write/read/clear lifecycle.

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 Resume

When triggered, call the `handoff-read` MCP tool for the current cwd first, read the saved handoff, then confirm the user's intent with EXACTLY 4 structured questions before acting on it. Confirm: resume objective, current blocker, files/state to preserve, and next concrete action plus permission to proceed in this session. `handoff-write` saves a compact resume record once 20% context utilization unlocks it (a fixed threshold: it is early on purpose, so the goal context shaped at the 15% latch is captured while the session can still describe it, and it is unaffected by the `contextCoaching` setting). `handoff-read` retrieves the saved record for this cwd and binds reminder re-append behavior to this reading session. `handoff-clear` deletes the saved record and overflow file, if any, for this cwd.

## Coach the writer (handoff-write)

A handoff record MUST carry a DEFINABLE AND ACHIEVABLE goal. When shaping the `/goal` prompt, state (1) a concrete goal, (2) a measurable done-condition the successor can check, and (3) the next concrete action to take first. Never write a vague "continue working": the successor cannot tell when such work is finished.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add heretyc/subagent-mcp/smcp-handoff@sha256:5e905dc3194907a8

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.
