epic-handoff

What problem does it solve?

Transferring work to a teammate or ending a session often results in lost context, requiring tedious re-explanation and re-orientation. This Skill creates concise, structured handoff documents, ensuring seamless transitions and preserving all critical information for future sessions.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Automated Context Compaction: Gathers current git state, task progress, critical references, and learnings into a compact, structured document (typically under 200 lines).
• Traceable Workflow: Links the current work to the overall EPIC workflow, including references to research, plan, and validation artifacts, providing a complete audit trail.
• Seamless Session Transfer: Ideal for handing off work to a colleague, switching to a different task, or ending a session without losing momentum or requiring extensive verbal briefings.
• Use Case: Before logging off for the day, run /epic:handoff "Phase 2 complete" to generate a document summarizing your progress, key learnings, and precise next steps. This ensures you or a colleague can pick up exactly where you left off the next morning.
