handover-manager

What problem does it solve?

When collaborating with AI agents on software projects, ephemeral conversation context like active debates, failed approaches, and in-flight issues is lost when the AI's context window fills up or you pause work, forcing new AI sessions to rehash old discussions or miss critical context that was never saved to permanent project files.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Ephemeral Delta Capture: Records only conversation context not already stored in permanent project files like SPEC.md, DEVLOG.md, and code, avoiding redundant duplication of documented information.
• Universal AI Compatibility: Works with any AI agent (Claude, GPT, Gemini, etc.) with no tool or platform lock-in.
• Context Hygiene Enforcement: Includes guardrails to keep handovers lean (under 200 tokens), prune obsolete context, and avoid common anti-patterns like duplicating permanent documentation or leaving stale "zombie" context.
• Use Case: Midway through a sprint building a new feature, you hit your AI's context limit. Use this skill to generate a handover so the next AI session picks up exactly where you left off, with full context of what was tried, what's still being debated, and what the next immediate steps are.

Quick Start

Ask your AI assistant to use the handover-manager skill to create a context handover when you need to pause work, reset the AI context, or get a fresh perspective on your project.
