Agent Handoff Document Generation

Summarize the current conversation to allow a fresh agent to seamlessly continue the work.

Requirements

  • Destination: Save the document to $HOME/.claude/scratches/handoff/. If a dev ticket, issue, or PR number is available for the work, save under a subfolder named for it (e.g. .../handoff/DEV-1234/); otherwise save directly in the handoff/ directory. Do NOT save in the current workspace.
  • Focus: Use $ARGUMENTS (if provided) as the description of the next session's focus and tailor the document accordingly.
  • Content: Must include a "Suggested skills" section outlining which skills the next agent should invoke.
  • References: Do NOT duplicate content already captured in other artifacts (specs, plans, ADRs, issues, commits, diffs). Reference them by path or URL instead.
  • Security: Strictly redact any sensitive information (API keys, passwords, PII).
