SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? When a conversation grows long or a task must continue in a new session, context is lost. This Skill compacts the current conversation into a structured handoff document so a fresh agent can resume the work without re-reading the entire history. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Conversation Compaction: Writes a handoff document summarizing the current conversation and saves it to the operating system's temporary directory, not the workspace. - Suggested Skills Section: Names which skills the next agent should invoke via the Skill tool to continue the work. - Deduplication and Redaction: References existing artifacts (specs, plans, ADRs, issues, commits, diffs) by path or URL instead of duplicating them, and strips sensitive data such as API keys, passwords, and personally identifiable information. - Use Case: Before ending a long debugging session, ask for a handoff focused on the remaining test failures so the next session can pick up exactly where you left off. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to create a handoff document for the next session, optionally describing what that session will focus on.

FAQPage Schema
How do I hand off a conversation to another AI agent session?

Invoke the handoff skill and it writes a summary document of the current conversation to your OS temporary directory. A fresh agent can read that document and continue the work without the full chat history.

How do I focus a handoff document on a specific next task?

Pass an argument describing what the next session will be used for. The skill treats the argument as the focus of the next session and tailors the handoff document accordingly.

Where is the handoff document saved?

The document is saved to the temporary directory of the user's operating system, not the current workspace. This keeps the project tree clean of transient session notes.

Does the handoff document include API keys or personal data?

No. The skill explicitly redacts sensitive information such as API keys, passwords, and personally identifiable information before writing the document.

Does the handoff duplicate specs, plans, or commits?

No. Content already captured in artifacts like specs, plans, ADRs, issues, commits, or diffs is referenced by path or URL rather than copied into the handoff document.
