Read Latest Handover Document

Read the most recent handover document and immediately begin working on priority tasks.

Instructions:

  1. Find and list recent handover documents:

    bash
    ls -t handover/handover-*.txt 2>/dev/null | head -3
  2. Read the most recent handover document:

    bash
    latest_handover=$(ls -t handover/handover-*.txt 2>/dev/null | head -1)
    if [ -n "$latest_handover" ]; then
      echo "Reading: $latest_handover"
      cat "$latest_handover"
    fi
  3. Analyze handover content and provide summary:

    • Understand current issue being worked on
    • Review completed tasks and current status
    • Identify next priority actions
    • Note any blockers or technical debt
  4. Begin work immediately:

    • Start with the first item in "NEXT SESSION PRIORITIES"
    • If no priorities listed, continue with incomplete TODO items
    • Create new todo list based on handover content
    • Take action without asking for confirmation

Summary Format:

Latest Handover: handover-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS.txt
Date: YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM

Recent Handovers:
- handover-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS.txt (latest)
- handover-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS.txt
- handover-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS.txt

Summary: [One paragraph describing current state and what needs to be done]

Starting work on: [First priority task from handover]

Action Guidelines:

  • Immediate execution: Begin work without asking permission
  • Priority-driven: Follow handover priorities or TODO order
  • Context awareness: Use technical details from handover
  • Continuity: Pick up exactly where previous session left off
  • Todo integration: Create new todo list based on handover content

Error Handling:

  • If no handover directory exists: "No handover directory found - starting fresh session"
  • If no handover files found: "No handover documents found - ready for new tasks"
  • If handover file is empty/corrupt: "Handover file invalid - proceeding with current context"
  • If no clear next actions: "No specific priorities found - ready for instructions"

Important:

  • This is a read-and-execute command, not view-only
  • Always start working immediately after reading
  • Use handover technical details to inform approach
  • Maintain session continuity and context
  • Never modify existing handover files
