# Resume context from Handover
Continue the canonical record instead of reconstructing work from a transcript.
Requires a configured Handover MCP connection or the `handover-sh` CLI with an
authenticated Handover identity.
## Select the interface
Prefer Handover MCP tools. Fall back to the `handover` CLI. If neither is
configured, direct the user to
`https://handover.sh/install?utm_source=agent_skill&utm_medium=workflow&utm_campaign=handover_resume_skill`.
## Verify identity and scope
- MCP: call `handover.whoami`.
- CLI: run `handover whoami --json`.
Confirm the intended account and workspace before searching. An empty result
can be correct when the identity lacks access; do not bypass it with a copied
URL, author name, or organization parameter.
Use only the smallest workspace scope needed for the requested record. Never
print, copy into artifacts, or ask the user to paste credentials or tokens.
If access is denied, preserve the boundary and report it instead of switching
to a broader identity.
## Resolve the canonical record
1. If given a Handover URL, slug, or identifier, open that exact record.
2. Otherwise search distinctive nouns, identifiers, filenames, and decisions
with `handover.search` or `handover search "<query>" --json`.
3. When several records match, prefer the active canonical record with the
newest relevant revision. Ask before choosing when intent remains ambiguous.
4. Read the current revision, artifacts, thread, and open annotations.
5. Do
