handoff

Summary

A skill that compacts the current conversation into a handoff document for another agent to continue the work. The document is saved to the temporary directory of the user's OS (not the workspace) and includes suggested skills, external artifact references, and redacted sensitive information based on optional user arguments describing the next session's focus.

Use Cases

• Hand off work between agent sessions in a multi-turn workflow
• Summarize progress for continuation in a fresh agent context
• Capture conversation state without duplicating existing artifacts
• Generate skill recommendations for the next phase of work
• Create portable context documents for knowledge transfer across agent boundaries

Quality Notes

• Well-scoped purpose: handoff document generation for agent-to-agent continuity
• Clear constraints: saves to temp directory only, not workspace; explicitly redacts sensitive data (API keys, passwords, PII)
• Good deduplication guidance: avoids redundant content with PRDs, plans, ADRs, commits, diffs
• Handles optional input: user-provided argument tailors the document to next session focus
• Minimal but functional: skill is concise and straightforward; no complex workflows or error handling examples
• Spec compliance: frontmatter present with name, description, argument-hint, disable-model-invocation flag
