Individual skill

handoff

Generate a self-contained handoff prompt that lets the user continue work in a fresh coding agent session with empty context. The prompt captures everything a new agent needs: project, goal, progress, decisions, current state, and remaining work. **Triggers — use this skill when:** - User says "handoff", "hand off", "hand-off" - User asks to "generate a continuation prompt" - User says "give me a prompt to continue this" - User asks to "wrap up for a new session" - User says "context transfer", "session transfer" - User asks "how do I pick this up later" - User wants to "pass this to another agent"

# Handoff — Session Context Transfer

Generate a self-contained prompt that a fresh coding agent (with zero prior context) can use to seamlessly continue the current work.

## Philosophy

Context is expensive. When a session hits its limit, or you want to switch tools, the work-in-progress knowledge shouldn't evaporate. A good handoff prompt is:

- **Self-contained** — no references to "our earlier conversation"
- **Actionable** — the new agent knows exactly what to do next
- **Honest** — clearly states what's done, what's broken, and what's uncertain
- **Minimal** — includes only what's needed, not a transcript of the old session
