handoff-chat

What problem does it solve?

It solves the problem of keeping multiple AI agents synchronized on ongoing work without forcing the user to manually pass messages between repos and sessions.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Cross-agent coordination via shared file: Writes conversation entries to a deterministic handoff chat file in /tmp so multiple agents can read context and continue discussion.
• Stable identity and addressing: Records each agent participant under a stable handle derived from the repo and working directory (or a user-provided override), enabling targeted replies.
• Topic-scoped slugging and session continuity: Auto-derives a human-decodable chat slug from the message subject and start timestamp, or continues an existing chat without re-deriving the slug.
• Designed for lightweight back-and-forth: Use it for clarifying questions, status pings, and ongoing coordination, with the companion skill /handoff-reply for reading and responding.

Quick Start

Use the /handoff-chat skill to open a new or existing lightweight coordination thread by posting your message to the shared /tmp handoff chat file.
