SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Long agent sessions lose context when they end, forcing the next agent or developer to reconstruct what was done and why. This Skill compacts the current conversation into a structured handoff document so a fresh agent can resume the work without re-reading the entire history. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Conversation Compaction: Summarizes the current session into a handoff document saved to the OS temporary directory, keeping the workspace clean. - Artifact Referencing: Avoids duplicating content already captured in specs, plans, ADRs, issues, commits, or diffs by referencing them via path or URL. - Suggested Skills Section: Recommends which skills the next agent should invoke, and redacts sensitive data such as API keys, passwords, and PII. - Use Case: After a long debugging and planning session, run the handoff with a note like "next session: implement the auth module" so the incoming agent starts with full context and a clear focus. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to create a handoff document for the next session, optionally describing what that session will focus on.

Frequently Asked Questions about handoff

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I transfer context between AI agent sessions?▼

Run the handoff skill to compact the current conversation into a summary document saved to your OS temporary directory. A fresh agent can read that document and continue the work without replaying the entire session.

How do I write a handoff document for another developer or agent?▼

Invoke the skill with an optional argument describing the next session's focus. It generates a structured summary, references existing artifacts by path or URL, and includes a suggested skills section for the next agent.

Does the handoff document duplicate my specs and plans?▼

No. The skill explicitly avoids duplicating content already captured in specs, plans, ADRs, issues, commits, or diffs. It references those artifacts by path or URL instead of copying their contents.

Is sensitive data like API keys included in the handoff?▼

No. The skill's instructions require redacting sensitive information such as API keys, passwords, and personally identifiable information before writing the handoff document.

Where is the handoff document saved?▼

The document is saved to the temporary directory of the user's operating system, not the current workspace, so it does not clutter the project repository.
