SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Handing off an active initiative between sessions is error-prone when context (stage, decisions, and next actions) isn't captured. This skill auto-serializes the current initiative context into a dedicated handoff document for the next session, ensuring continuity and quick re-entry.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Serialize initiative context (stage, subtopics, decisions, relations) into a single, ready-to-use handoff document at workspace/inbox/prompts/{slug}.md.
  • Auto-detect the active initiative or allow slug-based selection when multiple in-progress initiatives exist.
  • Enrich the initiative index.yml with missing context to reduce setup time for the next session.
  • Produce a concise summary of completed work and outstanding items to guide the next session.

Quick Start

Trigger the handoff workflow for your active initiative by running /initiative:handoff {slug} to generate the next-session handoff document.
