Badger Handoff

Create .badger-handoff in the current working directory, or another workspace directory explicitly selected by the user. Do not discover a Git root.

Summarize the session concisely and with high information density. Preserve enough context to continue without repeating investigation or misunderstanding a decision. Give later decisions and corrections precedence.

Remove conversational noise, repetition, obsolete details, and information Badger can recover from the repository. Preserve the current goal, material progress, decisions and rationale, constraints and non-goals, completed work, verification results, significant failed approaches, blockers, and immediate next steps. Include exact details only when they are necessary for continuity.

Aim for no more than 2,000 output tokens under normal circumstances. Use less for simple sessions. Exceed this target only when further compression would discard continuation-critical information.
