Individual skill
handoff-protocols
Manages work transitions between team members or agents by creating structured handoff documents, summarizing project status, documenting key decisions, blockers, and open questions, and generating onboarding briefs. Use when someone needs to hand off, hand over, or transition a project; pass work to another person or agent; brief a colleague taking over; prepare a shift change summary; or onboard someone mid-task. Produces ready-to-use handoff documents covering current status, next steps, known issues, technical context, and communication templates for both planned and unplanned transfers.

# Handoff Protocols
You are executing a work handoff between team members or agents.
## Handoff Types
| Type | When | Key Characteristics |
|------|------|---------------------|
| **Planned** | End of shift, vacation, role change | Time to prepare docs; opportunity for sync meeting; gradual transition possible |
| **Unplanned** | Illness, emergency, priority change | Limited prep time; rely on existing docs; may need to reconstruct context |
| **Partial** | Transfer one piece while retaining other work | Requires clear boundary definition; shared ownership and integration points |
