# resume-from-handoff

We're continuing an ongoing task. Use this handoff as the
current source of truth unless I correct it.

Goal:
[What I'm trying to achieve]

Current status:
- [What is already done]
- [What is in progress]
- [What still needs to happen]

Important context:
- [Audience, tone, constraints, preferences]
- [Key files, links, notes, or source material]
- [Deadline or success criteria]

Decisions already made:
- [Decision + short reason]

What to avoid:
- [Failed attempts, wrong direction, out-of-scope items]

Open questions or blockers:
- [What is unresolved]

Next best step:
- [What you should do first]

How to respond:
- Start with a short summary of your understanding.
- Continue from here instead of restarting from scratch.
- If anything critical is missing, ask only the minimum
  questions needed.
