Claude Handoff Revive
Claude Handoff Revive is a Claude Code skill that resumes work after rate limits by saving state instead of replaying transcripts.
Claude Handoff Revive is a plugin and skill for Claude Code that lets developers resume their work after hitting rate, usage, or context limits without replaying prior session transcripts. Instead of loading tens of thousands of tokens from past conversations, it saves only the minimum necessary information into a structured file using zero LLM tokens. The saved state includes goals, completed tasks, work in progress, next actions, touched files, and design decisions. It supports automatic saving when crossing usage thresholds and includes snapshot history and branch switching features. The tool runs locally and operates in pure shell environments.
