SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Hand off your in-flight work to ANY other AI coding tool so you can continue exactly where you left off — works in 8+ tools (Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Gemini, Antigravity, Cursor, Aider, Cline/Roo, Windsurf). Writes one portable, secret-scrubbed handoff document plus a full diff of your uncommitted edits, then prints the absolute path, a clickable link, and a copy-paste resume prompt. Use this skill whenever the user is running out of subscription tokens, wants to switch tools mid-task, says 'handoff', 'continue elsewhere', 'continue on another machine', 'switch to Codex/OpenCode/Gemini/Cursor', or 'I'm out of tokens'. Self-contained: needs only git and a shell; uses 'specweave handoff' as an optional accelerator if it is on PATH.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Cross-tool handoff across multiple AI coding assistants to preserve context
  • Produces a portable, secret-scrubbed handoff document plus a full git diff of uncommitted edits
  • Works with git and a shell; supports an optional specweave accelerator when available
  • Outputs absolute path, clickable link, and a resume prompt for seamless continuation

Can I switch from Claude Code to Cursor without losing my uncommitted git changes?

Yes, you can switch from Claude Code to Cursor by generating a portable handoff document that captures your full git diff of uncommitted edits, ensuring no context is lost during the cross-tool transfer.

Do I need specweave to perform a cross-tool AI coding handoff?

No, you do not need specweave to perform a cross-tool handoff; the process requires only git and a shell, using specweave solely as an optional accelerator if it is already on your PATH.

What is the best way to continue an AI coding task when running out of tokens?

The best way to continue an AI coding task when running out of tokens is to generate a scrubbed handoff document with your uncommitted git diff, then use the provided resume prompt in another tool.

Does the handoff process scrub secrets from my git diff before transferring?

Yes, the handoff process scrubs secrets from your git diff before transferring, producing a portable handoff document that safely captures your uncommitted edits without exposing sensitive information.

Which AI coding tools support cross-tool handoff documents?

Cross-tool handoff documents support 8+ AI coding tools including Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Gemini, Antigravity, Cursor, Aider, Cline/Roo, and Windsurf for seamless session continuation.
