Handoff

Two modes, same skill.

  • write — summarize the current conversation into ./HANDOFF.md so a fresh session can continue the work
  • resume — read ./HANDOFF.md in a fresh session and pick up where the last session left off

Pick the mode from the user's intent:

  • "handoff", "save context", "wrap this up", "I'm out of time" → write mode
  • "resume from handoff", "load handoff", "read the handoff", "pick up where we left off" → resume mode

State the mode you're entering in one short sentence before proceeding. If the intent is ambiguous (e.g., the user just says "handoff" and ./HANDOFF.md already exists), ask which mode they want.


Write mode

The person reading your handoff is a fresh Claude with zero memory of this conversation. Everything they need — the task, the decisions made and why, what's been tried, what's next — has to be on the page. If a detail only lives in this conversation's scrollback, write it down.
