SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires git, python, and includes scripts (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

The handoff Skill addresses the challenge of losing project context over time by enabling users to create and resume sessions, compressing context into a portable document and verifying state for continuity.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Session Handoff: Creates a comprehensive handoff document at the end of a session or resumes from an existing handoff.
  • Context Compression: Compresses project context into a portable document for easy transfer between sessions.
  • State Verification: Verifies the current state of the project against the handoff to ensure continuity.
  • Use Case: When ending a work session, users can create a handoff to save context. When resuming, they can verify the current state against the handoff and continue work seamlessly.

Quick Start

Create a handoff at the end of your work session using the 'create handoff' command.
