Handoff Skill

Write a one-shot handoff note to the next session, in the current working directory.

Purpose

Bridge state across a restart or /exit when a full session log is overkill. The next session's SessionStart hook (handoff-read.sh) reads handoff.md, injects its contents as additional context, then deletes the file. One read, gone.

Use this when:

• You need to restart (e.g., MCP server re-enable, permission change, context pressure)
• You want to hand off mid-task state to the next session without polluting log/
• A quick note is enough — not a full /session-close

When NOT to Use

• End of a substantive work session → use /session-close (proper logs, git commit)
• Permanent decisions or learnings → use MEMORY.md with [LEARN] tags
• Cross-project notes → use .context/agent-messages.md
