# Handover

Write a handover document so a fresh agent can continue without replaying this conversation.

For wiki-forge projects, use `wiki handover` or `wiki agent-handover` to write the durable record under the configured Knowledge vault. Resolve the vault through `KNOWLEDGE_VAULT_ROOT` or `wiki init <project> --repo <path>`.

For standalone use, save to `mktemp -t handover-XXXXXX.md`.

## What to include

- Current objective and next action.
- Relevant artifact paths: PRD, slice, commit, test, handover.
- Forge truth commands: `wiki checkpoint`, `wiki forge next`, `wiki forge status`.
- Ordered runbook commands for the next agent.
- Skills the next session should load.
- v2 command: `wiki handover <project> --repo <path> --json`

## Required skills block

The handover prompt must include:

Required skills before changing files:
- /wiki for vault memory, freshness, handover, and retrieval
- /forge for tracked lifecycle, phase packets, evidence, review, and close
- /handover when ending/transferring the session

## What to exclude

- Prior conversation reconstruction.
- Broad wiki queries.
- Content already in other artifacts; reference by path instead.

Suggest skills for the next session. Return the CLI's copy/paste prompt to the user verbatim.

## Forge integration

Load this skill when a Forge session is ending or transferring.
Use `wiki handover`/`wiki agent-handover` for durable records.
Include `wiki forge next` in the runbook.
**After handover completes:** return to `/forge` — run `wiki forge next` to advance.
