handoff

Solid

Captures the current session into a continuation prompt for a fresh one, or resumes from a pasted handoff. Use when context is running low, when ending a session mid-task, or when told to 'hand off' or write a handoff. `/handoff reusable` instead maintains a persistent multi-session task-runner state file (`docs/handoff-state.md`) that a fresh session reads, advances a few tasks via agent pairs, and re-saves.

Skill Content

# Handoff Produce a continuation prompt for a fresh session or resume from one. ## Output Rules - **Chat only (default mode).** Write the prompt in a single fenced codeblock so it copy-pastes clean. Skip files entirely; write one only if the user explicitly asks. The Reusable Mode below is the sole file-writing exception. - **No length limit.** Capture everything load-bearing from this session, no matter how long the prompt runs; completeness over brevity, a dropped decision costs more than a long prompt does. Hand off decisions and state, not file contents. Secret values never go in; name where a credential lives instead. - If the user gives next-step instructions when invoking the skill, they go into `next` verbatim. Exception: an instruction like "finish this then write a /handoff" means finish the requested work first; that instruction is already done by the time you write the prompt, so it doesn't go into `next`. - Default: the new session starts in the same cwd and picks up the same static context (system prompt, CLAUDE.md) as this one, so don't restate that content. If the handoff may be resumed from a different cwd, use absolute paths throughout. - Never assume the new session shares memory from this one. Skills you invoked, roles you took on, constraints you set: all of it needs restating or re-invoking. Tag files the new session should read at the start with `@file`. - **No git repo:** if the injected `git status`/`git log` output is empty (cwd isn't a repo), wri...

handoff-prepare

Use when the context window is getting large and the user wants to continue in a fresh session. Captures everything done this session (changes, decisions, caveats, next steps) into a self-contained handoff file, then tells the user to start a fresh session and run handoff-continue. Triggers on "handoff", "prepare handoff", "continue in a new session", "context is too big", "compact and continue".

handoff

Compact the current conversation into a structured handoff document (saved to the OS temp directory) so a fresh agent can continue the work without losing context. Use when the user invokes /handoff, says "create a handoff doc", "write a handoff document", "compact this for another agent", "pass off to another session", "what will the next session focus on", or generally wants to checkpoint the conversation state before a context-window break. Always references existing artifacts (design docs, plans, PRs, commits, memory entries) by path/URL — never duplicates their content. Includes a mandatory "suggested skills" section. Redacts API keys, passwords, PII.

handoff

Wrap up a work session for a clean restart — fires on "handoff", "wrap up", "let's stop here", when context is filling, or when a phase closed. Part of the Agentsmith harness; writes a durable handoff note plus a paste-ready kickoff block so a fresh session loses nothing.
