# handoff
Compact the current conversation into a single self-contained Markdown document that a fresh agent can read at the start of the next session and immediately know: what to do, what's already done, what's blocked, and which skills/files to touch.

- When the conversation is short (<20 substantive turns) and nothing material would be lost by starting fresh.
- When the user is asking for documentati
