Claude loads it when the task matches- passdown-dispatch
Use before executing any multi-task plan or change, including before Superpowers executing-plans, to decide which tasks stay in the current session and which run on configured external CLI agents or explicitly authorized native subagents; verifies delegated results before marking tasks done
- passdown-handoff
Use when ending or pausing a work session — writes a session handoff log (the "passdown") so the next session or agent resumes cheaply from small files instead of replaying a large transcript
- passdown-intake
Use when processing captured notes/ideas from an inbox into actionable work — scans inbox notes, clarifies intent with the user, routes each note to its target repo, creates a planning artifact (e.g. an OpenSpec change), and marks the note processed
- passdown-pickup
Use when starting or resuming work in a workspace that keeps passdown handoff logs — reads the latest handoff and plan state, verifies them against the working tree, and briefs the session so work resumes from files instead of a replayed transcript
