name: resuming-work-through-lunatask description: Resumes previously deferred work from Lunatask. Use when user pastes a task note, shares a lunatask:// deep link, says "let's pick this up", or references continuing earlier work. compatibility: Requires Lunatask MCP tools or CLI access license: AGPL-3.0-or-later metadata: author: Amolith amolith@secluded.site
Purpose
Handoff notes are navigation aids, not solutions. They point you toward relevant code and context, but the codebase may have changed since the handoff was written. Your job is to explore the current state and form your own understanding.
Before acting
- Read the actual files: entry points in the handoff tell you where to look, but always read the current source. Any code snippets in the handoff may be stale.
- Verify the plan still applies: check that the goal is still relevant and the suggested approach still makes sense given the current code.
- If present, follow the references: external links, commits, and docs in the handoff were included for a reason. Skim them for context.
If the code has diverged
If you find significant differences between what the handoff describes and what the code actually looks like:
- Stop
- Summarize what changed
- Wait for user input before proceeding
Don't try to reconcile the handoff with reality on your own. The user may have context about why things changed.
Workflow
When you begin working on the task, update its status according to the area's workflow. When finished, mark it complete.
If lunatask or lune MCP tools are unavailable, see cli.md. If the CLI is also unavailable, see installing-lune.md.
