handoff

Solid

Hand off the current conversation to a fresh chat with clean tokens. Synthesizes the session into a compact brief file and a paste-ready prompt so work continues without losing context. Use when the chat is token-heavy (judged as a fraction of this platform's context window, not an absolute count), when response quality is degrading from bloat, or when the user wants to switch to a fresh session without losing the thread.

# Handoff Synthesize the current conversation into a compact handoff brief, save it to disk, and return a paste-ready prompt for a fresh chat. The new chat opens with clean tokens but full continuity. ## When to invoke User triggers `/handoff` when: - Current conversation is token-heavy and response quality is degrading. Judge this as a FRACTION of the current context window, never as an absolute token count: windows differ by model and platform, so a fixed number is right on one and useless on another. Roughly two thirds of the window is where quality typically starts to slip (on a very large window that is 400k or more; on a smaller one it arrives far sooner). Where the platform exposes no token count, use the observable proxies instead: the session has run long, earlier detail is being forgotten, or answers are drifting off what was agreed. - They want to stop now and resume later in a clean session. - They're about to switch topics and want a clean slate without losing the thread. This skill is user-invocable only. Never self-trigger. **Host note.** The method assumes two things about the environment: that a file can be written somewhere durable, and that the user can be shown a multiple-choice question. Where a host has no filesystem, output the brief in chat as one fenced block for the user to save themselves, and point the paste-ready prompt at wherever they put it; nothing else in the method changes. Where a host has no pop-up question mechanism, ask the same que...

handoff

Compact the current conversation into a structured handoff document (saved to the OS temp directory) so a fresh agent can continue the work without losing context. Use when the user invokes /handoff, says "create a handoff doc", "write a handoff document", "compact this for another agent", "pass off to another session", "what will the next session focus on", or generally wants to checkpoint the conversation state before a context-window break. Always references existing artifacts (design docs, plans, PRs, commits, memory entries) by path/URL — never duplicates their content. Includes a mandatory "suggested skills" section. Redacts API keys, passwords, PII.

handoff

Captures the current session into a continuation prompt for a fresh one, or resumes from a pasted handoff. Use when context is running low, when ending a session mid-task, or when told to 'hand off' or write a handoff. `/handoff reusable` instead maintains a persistent multi-session task-runner state file (`docs/handoff-state.md`) that a fresh session reads, advances a few tasks via agent pairs, and re-saves.

handoff

Use this skill when the user says "hand off", "hand this off", "create a handoff", "branch this to another session", "pass context to next session", "start a new session for X", or invokes /ievo:handoff. Compacts the current conversation into a portable handoff document for a fresh agent session. Solves the context-window degradation problem — reasoning quality drops past ~120k tokens, so instead of /compact (lossy summarization), branch out-of-scope work into a focused parallel session with curated context. Produces a Markdown document with the next session's purpose, relevant context excerpts, suggested iEvo skills, artifact pointers (file paths, PR/issue links), and redacted secrets. Saved to OS temp dir for easy copy-paste into a new session.
