Handoff

Use this skill to make work easy to resume.

Handoff Contents

Include:

  • Objective
  • Current status
  • Important decisions
  • Files changed or inspected
  • Commands run and results
  • Known issues
  • Next steps
  • Risks and assumptions

Workflow

  1. Gather state

    • Inspect git status if in a repo.
    • Review recent files and command outputs available in the session.
    • Identify user requests that still matter.

  2. Separate facts from guesses

    • Mark verified facts clearly.
    • Mark assumptions clearly.
    • Do not imply tests passed if they were not run.

  3. Write for continuation

    • Make the next action obvious.
    • Include exact commands when useful.
    • Keep prose compact.

Rules

  • Do not omit failed commands.
  • Do not say work is complete unless verification supports it.
  • Keep unresolved user requests visible.
  • Include branch, repository, or workspace context when relevant.
