SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? When a product mission must continue in a new session or with a different specialist, context is lost and completed investigation gets repeated. This Skill produces a compact, referenced handoff so the next agent starts from the first action without rereading the entire conversation. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Structured Handoff Content: Captures mission stage, evidence with source references, decisions with canonical sources, blocking open questions, risks, and the next action. - Source Referencing: Points to specs, cards, decisions, and documents instead of duplicating their content. - Safety Rules: Removes PII, credentials, and sensitive data, and never assumes the next session has the same connectors or permissions. - Use Case: After a discovery session on a new roadmap item, generate a handoff so the Strategist agent can prioritize the opportunity without redoing user research. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to create a handoff for the current mission so a new session or specialist can continue from the next action.

FAQPage Schema
How do I hand off a task to another AI session without losing context?▼

Generate a handoff that captures the mission and current stage, facts with source references, decisions with canonical sources, blocking open questions, risks, and the next action. The next session starts from the first action without rereading the full conversation.

What should a handoff document between agents include?▼

A handoff should include the mission and stage, referenced evidence, decisions with sources, only the open questions that block the next step, risks and authorized external actions, plus the next action and suggested skills.

Does the handoff skill save files automatically?▼

No. By default the handoff is delivered in the conversation. A temporary file is only saved if the user explicitly requests it.

How does the handoff handle sensitive data like credentials?▼

The skill requires removing PII, credentials, and sensitive data before delivery. It also avoids assuming the next session has the same connectors or permissions as the current one.

When should I not duplicate content in a handoff?▼

Never duplicate specs, cards, decisions, or documents inside the handoff. Instead, point to the canonical source by path or URL so the handoff stays compact and consistent.
