## Process

2. Run `git log` to review changes made during this session
3. Run `git status` to check for uncommitted changes
4. Generate a handoff note in the format below
5. Save to the project's memory directory (e.g., `~/.claude/projects/{project}/memory/`)

## Format

```markdown
---
name: session_{YYYYMMDD}_handoff
description: {Project name} session handoff ({date})
