handoff

# Handoff — memory first, then the kickoff A fresh session has **zero** memory of this one; the handoff note is the only bridge. Run this whenever work winds down — even if no one asked (core/50). ## When this fires "handoff" / "wrap up" / "let's stop here" / context pressure / a closed phase / before a long external wait, merge, release, deployment, or other irreversible external gate. ## Runtime neutrality This workflow is identical in every client. Never infer the active agent from this skill's install path: portable canonical content may be copied into a required client adapter such as `.claude/skills`. Use “fresh chat” rather than a runtime-specific reset command so the note remains portable. ## Fast path — if the Agentsmith CLI is available 1. Run `agentsmith handoff [item-id]` — use `.agentsmith/agentsmith` on macOS/Linux or `.agentsmith\\agentsmith.cmd` on Windows when the command is not on PATH. It pre-fills branch/HEAD/dirty count and scaffolds `.harness/handoffs/handoff-<stamp>.md` with the standard sections. 2. Fill the scaffolded sections (below), then emit the kickoff block as your final message. ## Fallback — no CLI 1. **Safe state FIRST** (core/50 step 1): commit or stash so nothing half-edited is lost. Never hand off a dirty tree silently. 2. Write `.harness/handoffs/handoff-<stamp>.md` with these sections: - **Recovery checkpoint** — exact objective; repository/worktree; protected-state hashes; branch/commit and external identifiers;...
