session-handofflisted

Start a clean Claude session with only the context the next task needs, instead of /compact. Captures the goal of your next session, points to the right files (never copies them), and outputs a self-contained prompt to paste into a fresh chat. Use when: "re-fresh", "refresh context", "fresh start", "session handoff", "my chat got sloppy", "start a new chat with context", "hand off this session", outputs degrading, drifting off task. Three levels: lite (quick reset), full (default handoff), ultra (full briefing). NOT for: summarizing in place (that's /compact), or saving permanent notes.

# Session Handoff Long sessions rot: the window fills with stale back-and-forth and outputs get worse. `/compact` summarizes the mess in place and keeps going in the *same* polluted window. This skill does the opposite. It captures the goal of your next session, points to the right files, and hands you a clean prompt to paste into a fresh chat. Rebuild, not summarize. ## UX Rules 1. Ask exactly one question: the goal. Don't interrogate. 2. **Wait for the answer. Stop your turn after asking.** Do not generate the prompt, a draft, or a "default / in the meantime" handoff before the user replies with the goal. The only exception: the user already stated the goal in the trigger, in which case skip the question and proceed. 3. Reference files by **path only**, never copy file content, **but only when the data lives in a file the next session can open.** The fresh session cannot read this chat. So never hand it a pointer to data that has no retrievable home, see the persistence check in the workflow. 4. Be concise. The output is a prompt the user pastes, not a report. No preamble around it. 5. Default level is `full` when none is given. ## Levels - **lite**: quick reset, no scan. Goal, next 3 steps, open decisions, and bare file paths. A sticky note. - **full** (default): handoff doc. Everything in lite, plus what's done, key decisions, and file pointers each with a one-line "why it matters". - **ultra**: full briefing. Everything in full, plus dead-ends to avoid, paths to any
