SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Hand off your current Claude session to a fresh Claude instance while preserving work context. This avoids context bloat and keeps progress intact when you restart or re-energize your workflow.

Core Features & Use Cases

Session cycling: Spin up a new Claude session without losing the hooked molecule, beads, or git state.
Context preservation: Your current work stays on your hook and continues from where you left off.
Handoff messaging: Optionally send a mail to yourself with a note about what you swapped or discovered.
Automated priming: The new session auto-primes via the SessionStart hook for a seamless transition.

Quick Start

Use the /handoff command to cycle your current Claude session.

Simple handoff: /handoff
Handoff with notes: /handoff "Found the bug in token refresh - check line 145 in auth.go first"
