handoff

Solid

Produce a self-contained context payload that lets a fresh agent continue without re-deriving what this session established. Use for cross-boundary transfer such as switching tools, starting a clean session, or handing off to another agent, and for DIY sub-agent flows where a focused side-session returns context to the parent.

Skill Content

Produce a self-contained context payload that lets a fresh agent continue this work without re-deriving or re-learning what this session already established. The argument is what the next session is for — use it to shape what's captured and what's left out. Capture what's hard-won — anything the new session would have to re-do otherwise. For each item that travels, carry the grounding with it, so the receiver inherits the working state rather than just the conclusion. *Examples (illustrative, not required):* a settled decision travels with the alternatives considered and why this won; a verified fact travels with how it was verified (file:line, command output, doc URL); an open thread travels with what would close it. If a particular handoff isn't structured around decisions, facts, or threads, capture whatever the goal requires — with its grounding. Reference other artifacts (PRDs, manifests, ADRs, issues, PRs, commits, diffs) by path or URL — don't restate their content. Shape is the agent's call. Section names, headings, prose-vs-lists, ordering — driven by the intent, not a template. Output to `~/.manifest-dev/handoffs/handoff-{timestamp}.md` (create the dir; `~` = `$HOME` / `%USERPROFILE%`) where `{timestamp}` is `YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS` in UTC — a durable home so handoffs survive OS temp cleanup between sessions. Fall back to a writable temp path only when the home directory isn't writable. If the argument is a path to a prior handoff, read it first and write a fresh doc r...

handoff

Snapshot the current session into a resumable handoff artifact so a cold session, agent, or person continues without replaying context. Use when the user says "write a handoff", "hand off", "snapshot this session", "I'm running low on context", "pause and pack this up for the next session", or "resume this later".

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

Capture current session state to a curated artifact at .agent-docs/now/handoff.md plus an archive entry at .claude/handoffs/<timestamp>-<slug>.md. Updates now/status.md, now/work-plan.md, now/open-questions.md, log.md to current reality; sweeps the inter-party obligations ledger both directions (owed-by / owed-to, each receivable carrying a trigger + a default-if-silent) — the standalone now/obligations.md when it exists, else a handoff Obligations section; on multi-party installs, sweeps live inter-agent room threads into a Room-threads continuity block (participants/roles, message anchors, standing hooks, the re-read rule). Accepts optional session notes as arguments. Use at natural checkpoints, before compaction, before session-end, or when context exceeds ~80%. Does NOT auto-commit.
