Frequently Asked Questions about handover-tmux

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I handover a Claude Code conversation to a new tmux session?

To handover a Claude Code conversation, the Skill summarizes your current chat into a handover document, writes it to a file, and opens a new tmux pane to start a fresh Claude Code session that continues the work.

What is the best way to continue a long terminal workflow when a Claude Code session runs out of context?

The best way to continue a terminal workflow is generating a conversation handover document that summarizes prior context and launching a new Claude Code session in a separate tmux pane to resume the task.

Can I use this conversation handover tool without tmux active?

No, you cannot use this conversation handover tool without tmux active. The Skill operates exclusively within a tmux environment and awaits your explicit confirmation before proceeding with the session transfer.

How does conversation summarization work when transferring to a new Claude Code session?

Conversation summarization works by condensing the active dialogue into a structured handover document, saving that file locally, and then automatically starting a new Claude Code instance in a fresh tmux pane.

Do I need to manually start the new Claude Code session after the handover document is created?

No, you do not need to manually start the new Claude Code session. After writing the handover document to a file, the Skill automatically opens a new tmux pane and launches the fresh session for you.

Why does the tmux handover process wait for user confirmation before proceeding?

The tmux handover process waits for user confirmation to ensure you approve the generated conversation summary before it writes the handover file and spawns the new Claude Code session, preventing unwanted context transfers.
