Install
npx skills add ehnruiz/claude-skills --skill pick-up
Runs the open skills CLI and installs the skill for your agent (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor …). Alternatively copy the skill folder into .claude/skills/ or upload it in Claude.ai under Settings → Skills.
As a Claude Code plugin
/plugin marketplace add ehnruiz/claude-skills
/plugin install agent-workflow@ehnruiz
This skill is part of the plugin “agent-workflow”. In Claude Code the plugin installs it together with the plugin’s other skills, commands and hooks.

Questions about pick-up
What does the pick-up skill do?
Continue work from a handoff note an earlier session wrote. Use when the user says to pick up, continue or carry on from earlier work, or points at a handoff file.
How do I install pick-up?
In a terminal: npx skills add ehnruiz/claude-skills --skill pick-up. The skills CLI asks which agents to install it for. In Claude.ai you can upload the skill folder as a ZIP under Settings → Skills.
Which agents can use pick-up?
Skills use the open SKILL.md format, which Claude Code, Claude.ai, the Claude API, OpenAI Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI and other agents support.
Is pick-up safe to use?
Our automatic check found no risky patterns (piped shell scripts, hidden characters, secret access, prompt overrides). It is not a full audit – read the SKILL.md and any scripts before installing.
More skills from ehnruiz/claude-skills
Test-driven development, red then green, one vertical slice at a time. Use when building a feature, a rule, a config option or a bug fix test-first, when the user says "TDD", "red-green" or "write the test first", or when a subagent is handed a ticket to build.
Investigate a question against primary sources and capture the findings as one cited Markdown note. Use when the user wants a topic researched, a vendor's docs or API facts gathered, a library's or tool's real behavior confirmed, or reading legwork delegated while the main session keeps working.
Review a finished coding session for what slowed the agent down or let a mistake through, and turn one lesson into a test, check or doc in the project so the next session does not repeat it. Use when the user asks for a retro or retrospective, a post-mortem of a session, or "what should we change so this doesn't happen again". To carry unfinished work into a new session, use `handoff`; to prove a fix before claiming it, use `regression-proof`.
Runs Cloudflare's security-audit skill in full audit mode from Claude Code. It builds each agent's prompt file from that skill's text, pulls each agent's JSON reply out of its transcript, and keeps the coverage ledger, findings, agent-call budget and NEEDS-VALIDATION.md. Use it together with `security-audit` when the user asks for a full, end-to-end or report-producing security audit or pen test of a codebase. For a security question or a focused review, use `security-audit` alone.
Find skills whose descriptions fight over the same request, so Claude picks one at random or the wrong one, and fix the descriptions. Use when the user asks to audit, clean up or deduplicate their skills, when a skill fires that should not have, after installing a plugin, or before adding a new skill to a large library.
Route a multi-step task across cheaper subagents while the main session keeps the plan, the judgment calls and the verification. Use at the start of any task with more than one step, before spawning a subagent, when picking a model for a subtask, when a subagent fails, or when the user mentions cost, tokens or model choice.
Shorten an existing ticket that is too long or too technical, moving the engineering detail into a Technical notes comment so nothing is lost. Use when the user gives a ticket key or link and asks to trim, condense, simplify or clean it up, or says a product owner or analyst found it hard to read.
Writing documents for agents. Use when creating or editing a skill (its SKILL.md, description or reference files), when modifying AGENTS.md or CLAUDE.md, or when reviewing an agent-facing document that behaves inconsistently across runs. Prose that people read, such as a memo or a one-pager, follows its own rules.

Helps users discover and install agent skills when they ask questions like "how do I do X", "find a skill for X", "is there a skill that can...", or express interest in extending capabilities. This skill should be used when the user is looking for functionality that might exist as an installable skill.
