## Overview
On-call handoffs are where context transfers between humans: what happened, what's fragile, what's pending. Done well, they prevent dropped incidents and repeated pages; done poorly, they cause both. This skill covers handoff rituals, documentation, runbook maintenance, and designing sustainable on-call rotations.
On-call handoffs transfer operational responsibility between engineers: what is happening, what to watch, what is fragile, and who to call.
Good handoffs prevent the 3am "I have no context" disaster; bad handoffs (or none) turn every incident into an archaeological expedition.
This skill covers handoff rituals, documentation, and shadowing for sustainable on-call.
## When to use
- Designing on-call rotations
- Creating handoff checklists
- Reducing repeat pages
- Improving runbook quality
