handoff

Hand off a working session

Create or resume a concise HANDOFF.md when a session ends, context is full, work changes models, or ownership changes, then optionally publish it through Handover.

v1.0.0

Start locally

Create a useful handoff now. No account required.

Ask the agent in your current session to write the continuation record beside the work. The file stays local until you choose to publish it.

Local handoff promptCreate or update HANDOFF.md for this unfinished work. Preserve the goal, exact current state, decisions, evidence, smallest next action, open risks, and relevant artifact paths. Do not invent missing state or include secrets. Read it back as the next agent before declaring it ready.
Download HANDOFF.mdWorks with any coding agent that can read and write Markdown.

Outcome

What the agent will do

The skill leaves a local-first continuation record with the goal, exact state, decisions, evidence, next action, risks, and source artifacts, and verifies shared publication when an authenticated runtime is available.

  • Create a concise local HANDOFF.md without requiring an account
  • Preserve goal, state, decisions, evidence, next action, risks, and artifact paths
  • Resume from the canonical local file or latest accessible revision
  • Optionally publish privately and verify the exact record through Handover

Try it

Ask your agent in plain language

Example requestHand off this unfinished work so another agent can continue it. Keep it useful locally, and publish it privately through Handover if the connection is available.

The skill should activate from intent. You do not need to name its file or memorize a command.
