# Session Handoff
**Guards:**
- **Not plan mode.** This skill writes files. If in Claude Code plan mode, exit first.
- **Not shadowing.** NEVER generate handoff-like documents freeform. Freeform summaries look right but lack chain tracking, self-validation, and evidence mining. Only this skill produces handoffs.
- **Not when discussing.** Only run when the user explicitly asks to CREATE a handoff right now. If ambiguous ("what does handoff do", "edit the handoff file"), ask first.
Typical use: ~75% context. You have a lot of conversation to mine — extract maximum value before closing. On 1M context that's ~750K tokens of history.
The user should not need to provide anything — `/handoff` alone is sufficient.
**Arguments:** $ARGUMENTS
