SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? When a long working session ends, the next agent or session starts with zero context. This Skill compacts the current conversation into a structured handoff document so a fresh agent can continue the work without re-reading the entire history. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Conversation Compaction: Summarizes the current session into a handoff document saved to the repo-local, git-ignored tmp/ directory. - Suggested Skills Section: Recommends which skills the next agent should invoke to continue the work. - Reference-Based Summaries: Avoids duplicating content already captured in PRDs, plans, ADRs, journals, or commits by referencing them by path or URL instead. - Sensitive Data Redaction: Strips API keys, passwords, and personally identifiable information from the handoff. - Use Case: After a long debugging or feature-building session in the kamikakushi project, generate a handoff doc so a new agent session can pick up exactly where you left off. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to create a handoff document for the next session, optionally describing what the next session will focus on.

Frequently Asked Questions about handoff

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I hand off an AI agent session to a new conversation?▼

Invoke the handoff skill at the end of your session. It writes a summary document to the repo-local tmp/ directory that a fresh agent can read to resume the work, including suggested skills for the next session.

How to pass context between Claude agent sessions?▼

Use a handoff document that summarizes the current conversation and references durable artifacts like PRDs, plans, ADRs, and journals by path. This avoids duplicating content already stored elsewhere in the repository.

Where is the handoff document saved?▼

The document is saved to the repo-local, git-ignored tmp/ directory. It is a transient artifact for one continuation and does not replace durable project records like the journal or project status files.

Does the handoff document include sensitive information?▼

No. The skill explicitly redacts sensitive information such as API keys, passwords, and personally identifiable information before writing the handoff document.

When should I use a handoff document instead of project documentation?▼

Use a handoff document for transient session-to-session continuity aimed at one specific continuation. Durable project progress belongs in the project journal or status snapshot, which the handoff references by path.
