Prevents losing valuable in-session work when you need to run /clear or compact by capturing a durable checkpoint that can be resumed later.
Run: /handoff docs/my-feature-plan.md right before you clear your context to save progress for /primer to resume.

To save agent session context before clearing, append a structured progress log entry to a target plan doc and commit it to a git repo, creating a durable checkpoint that preserves ongoing work. The process also emits a resume block for the next session.
A context checkpoint in long agentic workflows is a durable record of in-session progress appended to a plan doc. It allows work to be resumed across windows, machines, or days after context is lost or cleared.
You do not strictly need a git repository to save progress before context compaction, but having one allows the updated plan document to be committed and pushed. This makes the state survive window resets and machine changes.
To resume a task across different machines after clearing context, use the /primer-compatible resume block emitted by the checkpoint process. This block is designed for fast, low-friction continuation of your ongoing work.
The handoff Skill does not run /clear automatically after saving the plan doc. It avoids running destructive actions itself, meaning you must manually clear the context after the checkpoint is successfully created.
