SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Prepare for handing off to a new Claude Code session. The goal is to leave a clear trail so the next session can pick up the sprint without re-discovery.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Sprint state update: read active sprint docs, mark completed work, merge notes, and preserve next steps for the incoming session.
  • Memory synchronization: verify MEMORY.md currency and surface any new decisions or observations for the next session.
  • Handoff summary: produce a concise brief for the incoming session detailing open questions and deferred decisions.

Quick Start

Run the handoff workflow to summarize the current sprint, update memory pages, and prepare the next session's starting point.

Frequently Asked Questions about handoff

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I prepare a Claude Code session handoff for an active sprint?▼

To prepare a Claude Code session handoff, run the handoff workflow to read active sprint docs, update MEMORY.md, and generate a concise summary for the next session. This prevents re-discovery of sprint state and deferred decisions.

What is the best way to synchronize memory reflections before ending a Claude Code session?▼

Synchronizing memory reflections requires checking MEMORY.md for currency and surfacing new decisions. The handoff workflow validates memory, creates or updates notes, and outputs open questions for the incoming session.

How do I track PR status and identify gaps within an active sprint documentation?▼

Tracking PR status and identifying sprint gaps is automated by reading docs/sprints to mark completed work. The handoff workflow merges notes and preserves next steps to ensure continuous sprint progress.

Does the handoff workflow work without external dependencies or components?▼

Yes, the handoff workflow operates without external dependencies or components. It directly reads your existing sprint documentation and MEMORY.md files to validate state and prepare the handoff brief.

When should I run a sprint handoff workflow instead of manual documentation updates?▼

You should run a sprint handoff workflow when transitioning between Claude Code sessions to avoid re-discovery. It automatically merges notes and updates memory, whereas manual updates risk losing deferred decisions and open questions.
