Individual skill
session-handoff
Use when a working session is ending, the context window is nearly full, work needs to pass to a teammate or a fresh session, or the user says "hand this off", "write this up before we lose it", "I'm starting a new session", or "summarize where we are". Produces a handoff document that lets the next session resume without re-reading the transcript.

# Session Handoff
A session ends three ways: the context fills up, the person leaves, or the work moves to someone else. All three lose the same thing — the reasoning that never made it into a file. This skill writes that reasoning down before it evaporates.
## Core Behavior
Write a handoff file, do not summarize in chat. Chat scrolls away; a file survives a `/clear`, a crash, and a different person opening the repo tomorrow.
Default path: `HANDOFF.md` at the repo root, or `docs/handoff/<yyyy-mm-dd>-<topic>.md` if the repo already has a docs convention. If a handoff file exists, append a new dated section rather than overwriting — the history of what was tried is half the value.
## What Goes In It
Write these sections in this order. Skip a section only when it is genuinely empty.
