Handoff

Write a compact, decision-ready handoff so the next session (or the user) can continue without reconstructing the current one. Use when the session is ending, context is running low, the user asks for a handoff / "pass the baton" / "hand off", or a long-running operation needs a durable state checkpoint. The goal: the durable artifact survives, the context does not need to.

Invocation: model+user

When to use

  • The user says "handoff", "hand off", "pass the baton", "takeover prompt", "write me a handoff", or the session is about to end / compact.
  • A long operation (multi-turn, multi-workstream) has state that must survive context loss: commits, branches, PRs, CI, blockers, decisions.
  • You are switching to a fresh session and want the new session to start from evidence instead of reconstructing the old one.
