handoff

For auditing another run use /agent-watchdog; for competing plans suggest /plan-arbiter. Create only continuation context.

Procedure

1. handoff_file=$(mktemp -t handoff-XXXXXX.md).
2. Do not duplicate artifacts. Link specs, plans, ADRs, issues, commits, diffs, and docs.
3. Treat arguments as next-session focus.
4. Redact credentials, secrets, personal/customer data; note redaction only when continuation is affected.
5. Suggest useful next skills.
6. Return only path plus 1-2 sentence summary.

If the user explicitly wants a fresh background agent now, do not save a file: check command -v claude, then run claude --bg --name "<descriptive name>" "<handoff summary>". On failure/unavailability, never claim it started; return exact command and summary. Include /agent-watchdog when its claims need verification.
