SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? When a conversation grows long or context runs out, starting a fresh agent session means losing all prior progress. This Skill compacts the current conversation into a handoff document so a new agent can pick up the work without repeating earlier steps. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Conversation Compaction: Summarizes the current session into a handoff document saved to the OS temporary directory, keeping the workspace clean. - Suggested Skills Section: Recommends which skills the next agent should invoke to continue the work effectively. - Deduplication and Redaction: References existing artifacts (specs, plans, ADRs, commits) by path instead of duplicating them, and strips sensitive data like API keys and personal information. - Use Case: You have been debugging a feature across a long session and want to continue tomorrow. Run the handoff with a note like "next session: finish the integration tests" and the new agent receives a focused, safe summary. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to create a handoff document for the next session, optionally describing what that session will focus on.

FAQPage Schema
How do I transfer conversation context to a new AI agent session?▼

Invoke the handoff skill to summarize the current conversation into a document saved in your OS temporary directory. The new agent reads that document and continues the work without repeating earlier steps.

How do I pass instructions about the next session to a handoff document?▼

Provide an argument describing what the next session will focus on, such as "finish the API integration tests". The skill tailors the handoff document around that stated goal.

Does the handoff document include sensitive information like API keys?▼

No. The skill explicitly redacts 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 your operating system, not the current workspace, so it does not clutter project files or get committed to version control.

Does the handoff duplicate content from specs or plans?▼

No. Content already captured in artifacts like specs, plans, ADRs, issues, commits, or diffs is referenced by path or URL instead of being duplicated in the handoff document.
