Session Handoff
Prepare context for the next session so work can continue seamlessly.
Process
-
Review active tasks — call
task_listwith filter+ACTIVEto find tasks that were being worked on. Use the UUIDs from that response for the calls below; do not rely on UUIDs you remember from earlier in the session. For each task in the result:- Use
task_annotateto record what was accomplished and what remains - Use
task_stopto mark it as no longer active
- Use
-
Review pending tasks — call
task_listwith filterstatus:pendingto see the full backlog. Note any tasks whose status has changed based on work done this session. -
Log unplanned work — if work was done that wasn't tracked as a task, use
task_logto record it retroactively with appropriate project and tags. -
Update blocked tasks — if any blockers were resolved this session, use
task_modifyto remove dependencies or update descriptions. -
Present the handoff summary:
- Done this session: tasks completed or logged
- Progress made: annotations added to in-progress tasks
- Ready to pick up next: pending tasks sorted by priority that aren't blocked
- Blockers: any tasks that are blocked and why
Keep the summary concise — the goal is to give the next session (or agent) a clear starting point.
