# Install Handoff Support

Add the following section to the project's CLAUDE.md. Place it after existing sections,
before any Reference Documents section if one exists.

## Section to add

```
## Handoff

Before ending a session, the user may invoke `/handoff` to create a machine-transfer summary.
On session start, a plugin hook automatically checks for HANDOFF.md, loads its contents into
context, and deletes the file. If handoff context appears at the start of a session, continue
from where it left off and let the user know context was restored.
```

## Rules

- If CLAUDE.md does not exist, tell the user and stop. Handoff depends on a working project config.
- If a Handoff section already exists in CLAUDE.md, tell the user and stop.
- After adding the section, confirm what was changed.
