Attach the current session to an existing branch or PR and continue work from there, abandoning the auto-created session branch. Invoke as `/from-branch <branch-name|#PR|PR-url> [<follow-up instruction or skill ...>]`, a skill in the follow-up named bare (`/from-branch #123 finalize`). The PR target may be a bare PR link or any deep link into it (a review link like `.../pull/NNN#pullrequestreview-<id>`, a review-comment or conversation-comment link, or a `/files` tab URL) — the PR number after…

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

When a Claude Code on-the-web session starts, the harness usually creates a
fresh branch (e.g. `claude/add-foo-bar-XXXX`) and checks it out. This skill
**discards that auto-branch** and re-points the working tree at an existing
branch or PR head so the rest of the session continues that work.

## Recognizing the signal (explicit _and_ implicit)

The obvious trigger is an explicit `/from-branch …` invocation. But a session
can also **start** with a launch prompt that just names an existing branch to
continue — with no literal `/from-branch`. Common shapes:

- `go claude/some-feature-xxxx` (or `implement …` / `execute …`),
- "continue the work on `<branch>`", "pick up `<branch>`", "keep going on
  `#123`".

These are the **same signal**: the harness has put you on a fresh auto-branch,
but the operator's intent is to attach to the _named_ existing branch and
continue its work — not to start new work on the auto-branch. Treat such a
launch prompt as an implicit
`/from-branch <that-branch> <the rest of the prompt as follow-up>` and run this
skill: resolve the named branch as the **Target** (Step 1), and take everything
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add vzakharov/muthur/from-branch@sha256:98f02fb2e550d1d1

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261014.0f16275, 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.
