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 Summarization: Writes a concise handoff document capturing the state of the current work, saved to the OS temporary directory rather than the workspace. - Suggested Skills Section: Recommends which skills the next agent should invoke to continue the task. - Artifact Referencing: Avoids duplicating content already captured in specs, plans, ADRs, issues, commits, or diffs by referencing them via path or URL. - Sensitive Data Redaction: Strips API keys, passwords, and personally identifiable information from the handoff. - Use Case: You have been debugging a feature across a long session and want a fresh agent to implement the fix. Run the handoff skill with a note like "implement the auth fix" and the next session receives a tailored briefing. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to create a handoff document for the next session, optionally describing what that session will focus on.

How to write a handoff document for another AI agent?▼

Run the handoff skill and optionally pass a description of what the next session will focus on. The skill writes a tailored summary, references existing artifacts by path, and suggests skills the next agent should invoke.

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 included in the handoff document?▼

No. The skill 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, keeping your project tree free of transient session files.
