Generate a session handoff: a document that lets the NEXT session pick up with full context and zero re-derivation. /cc-continue restores the transcript (user↔assistant messages); this skill captures what the transcript does NOT hold and saves it where /cc-continue auto-loads it.

ONE JOB: distill the non-dialogue knowledge. The transcript is already restorable — do not re-summarize it.

The two tools form a ladder of recovery:

/cc-continue alone → fast, accurate context restore with no wasted /compact tokens (the transcript).
/cc-compact + /cc-continue as a set → ALSO recovers the hidden results and process that never appeared in the dialogue (subagent findings, tool-output numbers, process lessons). That extra layer is THIS skill's entire reason to exist — so it must be captured in FULL, not gestured at.

A terse handoff is a FAILED handoff. The common failure mode is a handoff too short to carry the hidden layer — a few bullets that just restate what the transcript already has. This skill exists precisely because that is not enough. Favor completeness of the non-dialogue layer over brevity; the token cost of /cc-compact is paid back many times over by the next session not re-running the same subagents and tool calls.
