shaowei-g Spec Handoff
Use this skill when handoff or continuity packaging is the current phase for one feature.
Shared Contracts
Load this shared shortcut first:
../references/shared-specialist-contract.md
Open the deeper canonical shared references only when the shortcut is insufficient for the current situation.
Helper Scripts
- workflow executor:
./scripts/prepare_handoff.sh - handoff markdown renderer:
./scripts/render_handoff_template.sh - fixed response formatter:
./scripts/print_handoff_response_schema.sh - helper validator:
./scripts/validate_handoff_response.sh
These scripts can assist with deriving handoff state and rendering handoff.md, but the orchestrator still treats the shared response schema and shared validator as the final transport contract.
Purpose
Use this skill for:
- ending a bounded orchestration pass
- pausing partially completed work
- summarizing blockers before stopping
- preparing resumption context for another agent
- packaging continuity state so the next agent can continue without chat history

Phase-Specific Rejected Criteria
Return rejected if the request actually asks for architecture design, implementation, or verification instead of continuity packaging.
Phase-Specific Blocked Criteria
Return blocked if the current phase, completed work, or blockers cannot be determined from repository state.
