Handoff

Prepare a clean context handoff for the next session.

Steps

  1. Find the current active doc

    • If $ARGUMENTS is provided, find the matching doc in agent_dev/active/ (match by name substring)
    • Otherwise, look in agent_dev/active/ for .md files
    • If multiple exist and no argument was given, ask the user which one to update
    • Read it to understand the todo list and plans

  2. Check off completed todos

    • Run git log --oneline -20 and git diff HEAD~5 --stat to see what was done
    • Update the todo checkboxes in the active doc ([ ] → [x]) for completed items

  3. Commit progress

    git add agent_dev/active/
git commit -m "chore: handoff - update progress"

  4. Enter Plan Mode

    • Write a plan doc summarizing:
      • What was completed this session
      • What remains to be done
      • Any blockers or decisions needed
    • Use ExitPlanMode when done

  5. Instruct the user

    • Tell the user: "Accept the plan, then run /clear to start a fresh session."
