SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Hand off your current Claude session to a fresh instance while preserving work context. This ensures you can cycle sessions without losing your pinned molecules, notes, or task state, keeping momentum intact.

Core Features & Use Cases

Fresh start, persistent context: Move to a new Claude session without losing the hook state.
Handoff via mail and logs: Pass messages across sessions to maintain continuity.
Backward-compatible session cycling: New session primes via SessionStart hook and continues from your hook.

Quick Start

Invoke the handoff with the /handoff command or the Claude handoff action to spawn a fresh session. Optionally attach a note to communicate context to the new session.
