SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill helps maintain continuity by generating or updating a HANDOFF.md document that captures current context, decisions, and next steps so work can resume in a fresh session.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Snapshot repository state (CWD, git status, diffs, recent commits) to inform the next contributor.
  • Orchestrate a standardized HANDOFF.md with sections for goal, status, constraints, risks, and verification.
  • Support repeatable handoffs for CLAUDE-guided workflows and long-running projects.

Quick Start

Run the handoff workflow to generate or update docs/HANDOFF.md based on the current repository state.

FAQPage Schema
How do I maintain project context when resuming work in a new coding session?

To maintain project context across sessions, you need a structured handoff document that captures current goals, constraints, and status. Generating a HANDOFF.md file from your repository state ensures the next session can resume work seamlessly without losing prior decisions.

What is the best way to document repository state for a long-running CLAUDE-guided workflow?

Documenting repository state for a CLAUDE-guided workflow requires snapshotting the current git status, diffs, and recent commits. Automating this into a standardized handoff document enforces documentation of verification steps and next actions for restartable checkpoints.

How do I generate a handoff document that includes goals, risks, and verification steps?

Generating a handoff document with goals, risks, and verification steps is done by analyzing the current repository state. This process orchestrates a standardized file structure, ensuring all critical project constraints and next actions are recorded for continuity.

Can I use a session handoff workflow for any repository or does it require specific dependencies?

You can use a session handoff workflow for any repository where long-running tasks require structured, restartable checkpoints. It operates without specific dependencies, applying dynamic repo state snapshots to capture the working directory and git status for any project.

What should a session handoff checkpoint contain to ensure smooth task resumption?

A session handoff checkpoint should contain the project goal, current status, constraints, risks, and verification steps. Capturing key files, recent commits, and next actions ensures the next contributor has the full context needed to resume the work immediately.
