pickup

Voice: .rulesync/reference/output.md.

Load a handoff and continue in this session. Not a mode. Not /handoff. Inverse of /handoff.

Invocation

• /pickup
• /pickup latest (also newest/last)
• /pickup {serial}
• /pickup {abs|rel|drag-drop path}
• /pickup {title substring}

Resolve

Read .tmp/grunt/handoffs/. Use node .rulesync/scripts/grunt-job.mjs --job search|exec when the listing is fat.

Order:

1. path-like → file if exists + FILENAME_RE ^[0-9]+-[a-z0-9]+(-[a-z0-9]+)*-\d{8}T\d{6}Z\.md$
2. integer → FM serial or filename prefix
3. latest|newest|last → newest by FM created
4. else case-insensitive substring on name/source/H1
5. empty arg: 0→none; 1→auto; N→list+ask (not auto-newest)

List lines: serial status name created path. Prefer open|resumed first; still include done.

Matches: 0→recap missing; 1→proceed; N→list+ask never guess.

Empty/missing dir: recap no handoffs; stop.

Drag outside handoffs dir or non-FILENAME_RE: reject; list valid.

Corrupt FM: recap; do not continue on garbage.

status done + explicit serial/path: warn; still load if the user named it.

After unique path

Read the file. Set status: resumed. Work Next leaves in order; flip only that box; all [x] → status: done; do not re-plan; stale → /write-plan. Edit in place. Never persist-handoff.mjs on pickup.

Recap

serial={int} path={abs}

Do not invent a new role tag.

Rules

• /handoff stays one-turn write. This skill owns pickup.
• Protocol: .rulesync/reference/cascade.md. Do not paste.
