Pickup

Purpose: rehydrate context quickly when you start work.

When to use

• •Starting a new session
• •Taking over from another agent
• •Resuming after interruption
• •Morning startup routine

Steps

1. •Read context: AGENTS.md pointer + relevant docs + handoff notes if present
2. •Repo state: git status -sb; check for local commits; confirm current branch/PR
3. •CI/PR/MR:
   • •GitHub: gh pr view <num> --comments --files
   • •GitLab: glab mr view <num>
   • •Derive PR/MR from branch and note failing checks
4. •tmux/processes: list sessions and attach if needed:
   • •tmux list-sessions
   • •If sessions exist: tmux attach -t <session> or tmux capture-pane -p -J -t <session>:0.0 -S -200
5. •Tests/checks: note what last ran (from handoff notes/CI) and what you will run first
6. •Plan next 2–3 actions as bullets and execute

Output format

Concise bullet summary; include copy/paste tmux attach/capture commands when live sessions are present.
