Handoff

Overview

Capture the current session's state into a structured handoff document so a future session (or a different agent) can resume without losing context. The handoff document records goals, decisions, progress, and next steps.

Core principle: Capture what the next session needs to know — not everything that happened.

Announce at start: "I'm using the handoff skill to capture session state."

When to Use

• Before ending a long session with unfinished work
• Before switching to a different task or branch
• When context is getting large and compaction is likely
• When handing off work to another person or agent
