SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? When a conversation grows long or context runs out, important decisions and progress can be lost. This Skill compacts the current conversation into a structured handoff document so a fresh agent session can pick up the work without losing context. ## 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 skill with a note like "finish the auth refactor" and the next agent receives a tailored briefing. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to create a handoff document summarizing this session so the next session can continue the work.

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. A fresh agent can read this document to resume the work with full context.

How do I compact a long AI conversation without losing progress?▼

Use the handoff skill, which condenses the session into a summary that references existing artifacts like specs, plans, and commits by path instead of duplicating them. This keeps the handoff concise while preserving key decisions.

Where is the handoff document saved?▼

The document is saved to the temporary directory of your operating system, not the current workspace. This avoids cluttering the project repository with session notes.

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.

Can I customize the handoff for what the next session will do?▼

Yes. Pass an argument describing the next session's focus, and the skill tailors the document accordingly, including a suggested skills section for the next agent.
