SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? When a conversation grows long or a task must move to a fresh agent session, context is lost. This Skill compacts the current conversation into a structured handoff document so a new agent can pick up 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 PRDs, plans, ADRs, issues, commits, or diffs by referencing them via path or URL. - Suggested Skills Section: Recommends which skills the next agent should invoke to continue the work. - Sensitive Data Redaction: Strips API keys, passwords, and personally identifiable information from the handoff. - Use Case: You finish a long debugging session and want a fresh agent to implement the fix. Invoke the handoff skill with a note like "next session: implement the auth fix", and the new agent receives a tailored summary with references to relevant files. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to create a handoff document for the next session, optionally describing what the next session will focus on.

FAQPage Schema
How do I transfer conversation context to a new 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 needing the full chat history.

How to pass arguments to the handoff skill?▼

Provide a short description of what the next session will focus on, such as the planned task or goal. The skill treats the argument as the next session's purpose and tailors the handoff document accordingly.

Where is the handoff document saved?▼

The document is saved to the temporary directory of the user's operating system, not the current workspace. This keeps project repositories free of transient session files.

Does the handoff document include API keys or personal data?▼

No. The skill explicitly redacts sensitive information such as API keys, passwords, and personally identifiable information before writing the document.

Does the handoff duplicate content from plans or commits?▼

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