Use the base directory Claude told you about for this skill: ```bash bun run "<skill-base-dir>/../../lib/handoffs.ts" --cwd "$(pwd)" ``` The report lists every `NEXT_SESSION.md` under the project root, newest first, `*` on the newest and `[local]` on the one in the current cwd. Read the header line before anything else — it names the count and, when the local pointer is not the newest, how far behind it is. 2. **Read the pointer the report marks `*`.** Not the local one, unless they are the same file. Cwd varies between sessions in one project — an autonomous run in a subdirectory writes its own handoff — and reading the cwd-local file because it was closest is what cost a session real turns on 2026-08-18. - If the local file is not the newest, say so in one line before summarizing: which file you read, and how much staler the local one is. - If there are no handoffs at all: tell the user nothing is staged and stop. Don't synthesize a follow-up plan from thin air. 3. **Summarize "Start here" and "Open threads" in 2-3 sentences.** - Mention the wrap timestamp from the file header so the user knows how st
