Read and load the handoff document at `$ARGUMENTS[0]`.
## Steps
1. **Read the file** at the provided path. If the path does not exist, list files in `claudedocs/handoffs/` and ask the user which one to load.
2. **Parse and confirm**:
- Task and scope
- Files involved (with line numbers)
- Key discoveries
- Work completed so far
- Current status
- Next steps (ordered)
3. **Confirm understanding**: Summarize what you have loaded in 3-5 bullet points. Ask: "Should I proceed with the next step, or do you want to adjust the plan first?"
4. **Do not start working** until the user confirms. The confirmation step is mandatory.
## Notes
- If the handoff file references commits (`commit: abc1234`), note them but do not re-run the work.
- If next steps are unclear or conflicting, flag it before proceeding.
- The "Work Done" section is the authoritative record of what has been completed. Trust it.
