handofflisted

Compacts the current conversation into a structured handoff document so another agent (or a new session) can immediately pick up where this one left off. Use this skill whenever the user says "handoff", "hand off", "create a handoff", "summarize for next agent", "new session", "pass context", "fresh context", "write a handoff doc", or anything that signals wanting to transfer work to a new agent. Also trigger proactively when the conversation is getting very long and the user mentions starting fresh or switching models.

Everything the new agent needs should be in the document; nothing else should be assumed. ## What to extract from the conversation Read the full conversation carefully. Pull out: 1. **Goal** — What the user is ultimately trying to accomplish. One sentence. If the goal shifted during the conversation, note the current goal. 2. **Context** — Project name, directory, tech stack, key constraints, relevant background the user shared. Keep it tight — only what shapes decisions. 3. **What's been done** — Concrete completed actions: files created/edited, commands run, features implemented, PRs opened. Reference specific file paths and line numbers when known. 4. **Key decisions made** — Choices that were discussed and settled. Include the _reason_ — "we chose X because Y" — so the new agent doesn't re-litigate them. 5. **Current state** — Where things stand right now. What's working, what's broken, what's half-done. If there are uncommitted changes or a partial implementation, say so. 6. **Open items / blockers** — What's
