Skill Details

SKILL.md

Create a handoff message to continue work in a new AI session. Use when the user wants to save context for later, create a handoff document, or prepare work for continuation in a fresh session. Captures relevant files, context, and goals so the next session can start immediately without rediscovering the codebase.

Overview

# Create Handoff

Generate a HANDOFF.md file to preserve context for the next AI session.

When to Use

User says "let's continue later"
User asks to save current progress
Session is ending but work is incomplete
User explicitly asks for a handoff

Process

Identify relevant files (target 8-15 files, up to 20 for complex work)

- Files being edited or will be edited

- Dependencies and imports

- Relevant tests

- Configuration files

- Key reference documentation

Draft context and goals

- What we're working on

- Current state and progress

- Decisions made

- Constraints and preferences

- Technical patterns discovered

- Next steps or remaining tasks

Exclude

- Conversation back-and-forth

- Dead ends and failed attempts

- Meta-commentary

- File contents (just list paths)

Output Format

Save to HANDOFF.md in the repository root:

```markdown

# Handoff: [Brief Title]

Context

[What we're building/fixing and why]

Current State

Tips

Be generous with files - cost is low, missing critical files is high
Preserve user preferences exactly as stated
Focus on actionable next steps
Keep it scannable - bullet points over paragraphs
