How it works
handoff
When your agent uses it
Generate a complete handoff document of the current conversation so another LLM (ChatGPT, a fresh Claude, Gemini...) can pick up exactly where this one left off. Use when the user types "handoff", says the session is almost full, mentions hitting the context/usage limit, or wants to continue this conversation in another AI.

# Handoff: continue this conversation in any LLM
You are about to be replaced mid-task. Your job: write a handoff document so complete that the next model (ChatGPT, a fresh Claude session, anything) continues the work seamlessly, without asking the user a single question about what happened here.
## Output
Produce ONE markdown document, nothing else. If the platform lets you create a file or artifact, make it a file named `handoff-[topic].md`. Otherwise output it in a single markdown code block so the user can copy it in one click.
