Write a handoff document summarising the current conversation so a fresh agent can continue the work. Save it to `.agent-handoffs` (relative to current repo root) and use naming convention `yymmdd-<topic>.md` (read the file before you write to it).

Suggest the skills to be used, if any, by the next session.

Do not duplicate content already captured in other artifacts (PRDs, plans, ADRs, issues, commits, diffs). Reference them by path or URL instead.

If the user passed arguments, treat them as a description of what the next session will focus on and tailor the doc accordingly.
