Rehydrate context quickly when you start work.

Steps

1. Read handoff and project docs

   • Read HANDOFF.md in the project root. If it doesn't exist, tell the user and ask how to proceed.
   • Read CLAUDE.md / AGENTS.md if present for project conventions.

2. Repo state

   • Run git status -sb and check for unpushed local commits.
   • Confirm current branch matches what the handoff documents.
   • Note any discrepancies between the handoff and actual state.

3. CI / PR

   • If a PR is noted in the handoff, run gh pr view <number> --comments --files and note failing checks.
   • If no PR number, try to derive one from the current branch with gh pr view.

4. Tests / checks

   • Note what last ran (from handoff notes or CI) and what still needs to run.

5. Present summary and plan

   • Summarize: what was being worked on, what's done, what's pending, any discrepancies found.
   • Plan the next 2-3 actions as bullets.
   • Ask the user which action to start (or if they want to do something different).

6. Execute — once the user picks, begin work.
