Skill Content
Generate a structured handoff document from our current conversation and save it to `claudedocs/handoffs/handoff_YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS.md` (or use the filename provided as `$ARGUMENTS[0]` if given).
Create the `claudedocs/handoffs/` directory if it does not exist.
## Document Structure
Include exactly these sections:
```markdown
# Handoff: [Task Name] - [YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM]
## Task
[One sentence: what is being accomplished]
## Scope
[What needs to be done. Be specific about boundaries: what is in scope and what is explicitly out of scope]
## Files
[All relevant files touched or needed. Format: `path/to/file:line` when a specific line matters]
- `src/auth/middleware.ts:45` - token validation logic
- `tests/auth.spec.ts` - test suite for this change
- `docs/api.md` - needs update after implementation
## Discoveries
[Key findings and insights from the work so far. Things the next agent needs to know that are not obvious from the code]
- [Discovery 1]
- [Discovery 2]
## Work Done
[Completed tasks. Append-only: never remove prior entries. Include commit hashes when available]
- [x] Task A completed (commit: abc1234)
- [x] Task B completed
## Status
[Current state: what is done, what remains, test status, blockers]
## Next Steps
[Actionable checklist of remaining tasks, in order]
1. [ ] Step 1
2. [ ] Step 2
3. [ ] Step 3
## Code
[Relevant code snippets with context. Focus on the parts a resuming agent needs to understand immediately]
