Prompt to New Session

Write a handoff prompt: another session starts with nothing but these words. Write for that cold reader.

If the user passed an argument, it names the focus of the next session; shape the prompt around it.

1. Gather the state

Collect from this conversation, and check the environment for anything it can confirm:

• The goal, in one sentence.
• What is done, and how each piece was verified. Mark anything unverified as unverified.
• The current state: branch, uncommitted changes, anything running or half-finished.
• The next step, concrete enough to start on.
• Decisions made and the reason for each, so the next session does not reopen them.
• Dead ends already tried, and gotchas found the hard way.
• The exact files, symbols, and commands the next step touches.

Leave out what the next session can find in one lookup (git log, file contents, --help). Keep what it cannot: the reasons, the dead ends, the unwritten conventions.
