Handoff

Skill bRRRITSCOLD/compainy/skills/handoff

Write a session handoff file before ending a work chunk so the next fresh session resumes instantly. Use when finishing a unit of work, when context is getting large, when the user says "handoff", "wrap up", "save state", or before suggesting a new session.From its SKILL.md

Handoff Skill

Persist a structured summary of the current session to a temp file so the next fresh Claude session can resume without re-reading the full transcript.

Checklist

Follow these steps in order:

1. Goal

State what the overall objective of this session was.

2. Done

List everything that was completed during this session.

3. In progress

List anything that was started but not yet finished.

4. Next steps

List the concrete actions the next session should take, in priority order.

5. Key files

List the absolute paths of all files created, modified, or read that are important for continuity.

6. Decisions

Record any significant choices made and the reasoning behind them.

7. Open questions

Note anything unresolved or uncertain that the next session should address.

Once you have drafted the markdown body covering all seven sections above, write it to a temporary file, then run:

${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/handoff/scripts/write-handoff.sh <body>

where <body> is the path to your draft markdown file.

The script will print the path where the handoff was saved. Print that path to the user and recommend they start a fresh session ("small context = sharp Claude") and read the handoff file there to resume instantly.

Path convention

Handoff files are written to:

${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/claude-handoffs/<cwd-slug>/<UTC-ISO>.md

where <cwd-slug> is the absolute working directory with / replaced by - and the leading - stripped.
