Handoff

Preserve context across Claude Code sessions by writing a structured HANDOFF.md file at the project root.

When to Use

• Before ending a long session
• Before running /compact to free context
• When switching to a different task and planning to return
• When handing work to another developer or agent

How It Works

1. Check if a HANDOFF.md already exists in the project root
2. If it does, read it first to build on previous context
3. Write/update HANDOFF.md with the five sections below
