Handoff

Finish the CURRENT session in one move: write a rich model-authored handoff, open a fresh full-window session that takes over (it auto-recaps the handoff), and close this one once the fresh session has it — a clean baton pass, one session at a time. Use when you want to wrap up and continue fresh on demand (not just at the compaction threshold). Trigger: /trantor:handoffFrom its SKILL.md

Relay Handoff — pass the baton to a fresh session

Write a complete handoff capturing everything a NEW session needs to continue this work without re-deriving context, and save it so the next session in this project auto-loads it on start.

Instructions

Already written one this session? Then do NOT write it again — pass the baton on it:
```
node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/write-handoff.mjs" --baton --latest
```
That picks this project's newest unconsumed handoff and hands it over untouched, and exits non-zero if there isn't one. Recomposing a handoff you already wrote costs minutes and produces a second, slightly different document.
Otherwise, compose a thorough markdown handoff for the current task with these sections (be specific — exact file paths, concrete next actions; the successor has a fresh window and only this):
- TASK — what we're doing and the goal
- STATE — what's done, what's in progress
- KEY DECISIONS — choices made and why
- OPEN THREADS & NEXT STEPS — the concrete actions to do next, in order
- KEY FILES & LOCATIONS — exact paths, commands, URLs, IDs the successor needs
- GOTCHAS — anything that will bite if forgotten
Save it AND pass the baton in one shot — pipe the markdown to the helper with --baton:
```
cat << 'HANDOFF' | node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/write-handoff.mjs" --baton
<your handoff markdown>
HANDOFF
```
--baton writes the handoff, opens a FRESH session that takes over (it auto-recaps the handoff on open), and closes THIS Terminal window once the fresh session has consumed it — a true baton pass, one session at a time. (Omit --baton to only write the handoff without spawning/closing.) It's safe: the original window is closed ONLY after the fresh session confirms it took over, and never if the fresh session fails to start.
Tell the user briefly: "Handoff written — a fresh session is opening and will recap it; this window closes once it takes over." Then stop (the baton will close this session shortly).
