# Create Handoff You are tasked with writing a handoff document to hand off your work to another agent in a new session. You will create a handoff document that is thorough, but also **concise**. The goal is to compact and summarize your context without losing any of the key details of what you're working on. ## Process ### 1. Filepath & Metadata Use the following information to understand how to create your document: **First, determine the session name from existing handoffs:** ```bash ls -td thoughts/shared/handoffs/*/ 2>/dev/null | head -1 | xargs basename ``` This returns the most recently modified handoff folder name (e.g., `open-source-release`). Use this as the handoff folder name. If no handoffs exist, use `general` as the folder name. **Create your file under:** `thoughts/shared/handoffs/{session-name}/YYYY-MM-DD_HH-MM_description.yaml`, where: - `{session-name}` is from existing handoffs (e.g., `open-source-release`) or `general` if none exist - `YYYY-MM-DD` is today's date - `HH-MM` is the current time in 24-hour format (no seconds needed) - `description` is a brief kebab-case description **Examples:** - `thoughts/shared/handoffs/open-source-release/2026-01-08_16-30_memory-system-fix.yaml` - `thoughts/shared/handoffs/general/2026-01-08_16-30_bug-investigation.yaml` ### 2. Write YAML handoff (~400 tokens vs ~2000 for markdown) **CRITICAL: Use EXACTLY this YAML format. Do NOT deviate or use alternative field names.** The `goal:` and `now:` fields are shown
