SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Hand off your in-flight work to ANY other AI coding tool so you can continue exactly where you left off — works in 8+ tools (Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Gemini, Antigravity, Cursor, Aider, Cline/Roo, Windsurf). Writes one portable, secret-scrubbed handoff document plus a full diff of your uncommitted edits, then prints the absolute path, a clickable link, and a copy-paste resume prompt. Use this skill whenever the user is running out of subscription tokens, wants to switch tools mid-task, says 'handoff', 'continue elsewhere', 'continue on another machine', 'switch to Codex/OpenCode/Gemini/Cursor', or 'I'm out of tokens'. Self-contained: needs only git and a shell; uses 'specweave handoff' as an optional accelerator if it is on PATH.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Cross-tool handoff across multiple AI coding assistants to preserve context
  • Produces a portable, secret-scrubbed handoff document plus a full git diff of uncommitted edits
  • Works with git and a shell; supports an optional specweave accelerator when available
  • Outputs absolute path, clickable link, and a resume prompt for seamless continuation

Quick Start

Does the handoff process scrub secrets from my git diff before transferring?▼

Yes, the handoff process scrubs secrets from your git diff before transferring, producing a portable handoff document that safely captures your uncommitted edits without exposing sensitive information.

Which AI coding tools support cross-tool handoff documents?▼

Cross-tool handoff documents support 8+ AI coding tools including Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Gemini, Antigravity, Cursor, Aider, Cline/Roo, and Windsurf for seamless session continuation.
