# Handoff Load > Load session context from handoff.md exported by another AI coding tool and continue the task. Use when resuming a session handed off from Claude Code, Gemini CLI, or any other tool. Use when this capability is needed. - Skill: `tomevault-io/handoff-load` (Agent Skill, multi-file: 2 files) - Install (CLI): `npx skillmds@latest add tomevault-io/handoff-load` - Raw SKILL.md: https://api.skillmd.com/api/skills/tomevault-io/handoff-load/raw - Safety review: pending (external: skill-scanner PASS, skillspector PASS) - Works with: Claude Code, Claude.ai, OpenAI Codex - Category: Productivity - Author: tomevault-io (https://skillmd.com/u/tomevault-io) - Updated: 2026-09-17 - Page: https://skillmd.com/skills/tomevault-io/handoff-load --- Read the file `handoff.md` from the project root. This is a session handoff from another AI coding tool. The previous AI exported its full session context into this file. Your job: 1. Read handoff.md completely. 2. Read every file listed under "Active Files" in handoff.md. Do this silently — do not narrate each file read. 3. Respond with a brief confirmation: ✅ Context loaded from [exported_from] session [session_id] **Project**: [name] — [stack] **Task**: [current task, one line] **Blocker**: [blocker or "None"] **I'll start with**: [Next Steps item #1] 4. Then immediately begin working on Next Steps item #1. Rules: - Do NOT ask for clarification before reading the files. - Do NOT change anything listed as a Key Decision without flagging it first. - Do NOT refactor code outside the scope of the current task. - Follow "For the Next AI" instructions exactly. - If handoff.md does not exist: "❌ No handoff.md found. Ask the previous AI to run /handoff-export first." --- > Source: [JustALearner101/context-handoff](https://github.com/JustALearner101/context-handoff) — distributed by [TomeVault](https://tomevault.io).
