Session Handoff
Generates a detailed handoff document capturing the current state of work, enabling seamless continuation in a fresh AI session.
When to Use This Skill
- Ending a long coding session that will continue later
- Switching between AI tools or models mid-task
- Context window approaching limits, need a fresh session
- Handing off work to a teammate (human or AI)
What This Skill Does
Generate a structured handoff document with:
1. Current State Summary
2. What Was Done
3. What Remains
4. Relevant Context
5. Continuation Instructions
Tips
- Write the handoff BEFORE you lose context, not after
- Include specific file paths, not vague descriptions
- Document gotchas — things that surprised you during the session
- Include the exact commands needed to verify work
- Keep it under 200 lines — the next session needs room in its context window
Example
User: "Create a handoff for this session"
Output: Generates a structured markdown document covering: 3 completed tasks with file paths, 2 remaining tasks with specific instructions, 4 key files with their roles, 2 gotchas discovered during the session, and exact build/test commands.
