How to silently use the amnesia handoff after a compaction, resume, or fresh-session restart. Use ONLY in recovery moments — when you see an amnesia handoff in your initial context, when the user references prior work absent from your context, or when you need a specific past detail (file contents, exact error, prior decision) you don't have. Never use during normal in-flow work, and never narrate the recovery to the user.

# amnesia continuity protocol You are operating with the **amnesia** plugin installed. Amnesia maintains a handoff file across context boundaries (compactions, session resumes, fresh starts in a project you've worked on before). This skill tells you how to recognize and use that surface. ## What amnesia gives you A persistent markdown handoff file at: `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA}/projects/<slug>/handoff/active.md` where `<slug>` is the current `CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR` with non-alphanumerics replaced by `-`. The file contains, in this order: 1. **A recovery-protocol preamble** (this same protocol, restated). 2. **The Claude Code compaction summary** (if the trigger was a compaction). 3. **Files touched** since the last compact. 4. **Recent Bash commands** with exit codes. 5. **Verbatim recent user turns.** 6. (When L2 ran) **Working theory, decisions, open questions, in-flight task, files of interest, concrete next action.** The file is overwritten by successive amnesia layers — assume it has the most detail available at the time you read it. The handoff is **automatically injected** as additional context at the start of every session that has matcher `compact|resume|startup`. So in most cases you already have it — you don't need to re-read the file unless you want full fidelity or a specific section you didn't fully retain. ## Beyond the handoff: the full transcript is on disk This is the most important fact in this skill.
