Skill: handoff

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when:

  • User wants to hand off work to another agent
  • Continuing work in a new session
  • Passing work to another developer

Guidelines

Write a handoff document as a markdown file and save it to /tmp/handoff.md — not the current workspace.

Required sections

# Handoff

## What was done
Brief summary of completed work.

## What's remaining
Ordered list of next steps.

## Key decisions
Decisions made and the reasoning behind them — so the next agent doesn't re-litigate them.

## Suggested skills
Which skills the next agent should have loaded (e.g. `git-workflow`, `tdd`).

## References
Links or paths to relevant files, PRs, issues, or docs — do not duplicate their content here.

Rules

  • Do not duplicate content already in PRDs, plans, ADRs, issues, or commits — reference by path instead.
  • Redact sensitive info (API keys, passwords, PII).
  • Keep it short enough that a fresh agent can read it in one pass — if it exceeds one page, you're including too much detail.
