27 days oldThe repository was created 27 days ago. New is not bad, but a brand new repository carrying a familiar-sounding name is the shape a typosquat arrives in, and there has been no time for anyone else to find a problem with it.

What its author says it does

Copied from the file, not written here

Context-rot prevention: write a structured handoff document capturing the current session state so you can /clear and continue in a fresh session without losing context. Use when: context >70%, session >15 turns, hitting limits, or switching tasks mid-work. Invoke: /handoff [optional-filename]

/handoff — Session Handoff Document

Write a structured handoff doc to docs/state/handoffs/YYYY-MM-DD-HH-MM.md (or user-specified path).

Steps

Determine output path: docs/state/handoffs/<YYYY-MM-DD-HH-MM>.md. Create dirs if needed.
Write the handoff doc with exactly these sections:

# Handoff — <YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM UTC>

## Branch & Git State
- Branch: <current branch>
- Last commit: <hash> <message>
- Uncommitted: <list files or "clean">

## Goal
<1-2 sentences: what we're trying to accomplish>

## Done This Session
<bulleted list of completed items with file paths>

## Pending / Next Steps
<ordered list of what to do next — be specific, include file paths and line numbers>

## Key Decisions Made
<any non-obvious choices: why X not Y>

## Active Linear Tickets
<BEN-XXXX: title — status>

## Resume Command
Continue from handoff: docs/state/handoffs/<filename>.md

Print: Handoff written: docs/state/handoffs/<filename>.md
Print: Next: /clear → new session → paste: "Continue from handoff: docs/state/handoffs/<filename>.md"

On "continue from handoff <path>"

When a session starts with "Continue from handoff: <path>":

Read the handoff file at <path>
Confirm the branch, verify git state
Resume exactly at "Pending / Next Steps" — no recap needed
Say: "Resuming from handoff. Next: <first pending item>"

Judgment weave (see /judgment)

The handoff doc must carry the judgment state, or the next session re-derives it: open GATE: lines and their current readings, unresolved /door analyses, UNVERIFIED claims awaiting refutation. Fresh sessions inherit the ledger for free (.claude/verdicts.log is committed) — point at it rather than re-summarizing.
