Handoff

Compact the current session into a transient handoff doc so a fresh agent — same user, another agent, another machine, or a teammate — can pick up the work without copy-pasting context by hand.

Invocation Position

/handoff is a side-route skill. It is invoked ad-hoc, not from any default pipeline path.

Use /handoff when:

• a session has run long and the next step is better served by a fresh context window
• you are mid-skill (mid-/execute, mid-/qa, mid-/improve-codebase-architecture) and the existing inter-skill compression artifacts (closing summary, research file, PRD issue, slice issue, PR) do not fit because you are not at a skill boundary
• you are doing exploratory, debugging, or other non-pipeline work where no natural compression artifact exists
• you want to hand off to a teammate, a different agent (Codex, Gemini, another Claude session), or a different machine

Do not use /handoff when:
