Handoff

Write a handoff file to transfer task ownership to a future session. Load when work is incomplete and context would be lost without a written handoff.

Handoff Workflow

Write a handoff file when work is incomplete and a future agent needs context beyond what TASKS.md contains.

Steps

  1. Update TASKS.md with current status, next steps, and any newly discovered tasks
  2. Write the handoff file at handoffs/<name>.md using the template at references/template.md
  3. Verify claims — re-read key files referenced in the handoff. Check that paths exist, stated facts match current code/data, and branch state is accurate. Handoffs with stale claims waste the next agent's time.
  4. Commit the handoff file and TASKS.md update
