session-handoff

To preserve context across conversations, generate structured session handoff notes that capture current state, decisions, and next steps using fixed-template sections and token budgets to ensure dense, token-efficient documentation.

Creating handoff documentation before context compaction is best handled by generating structured notes with immutable headers and token limits, ensuring current state and next steps are preserved efficiently without exceeding context windows.

You can enforce a token budget on session continuity notes by configuring fixed limits that keep each section under 2000 tokens and the total note under 12000 tokens, ensuring dense and efficient context preservation.

You can customize section headers, token limits, and title formats by modifying the user-config.md file, allowing team-specific structured documentation while maintaining the fixed-template approach for consistency.

Generating session handoff notes requires no external dependencies or components, as the skill operates independently by enforcing immutable headers and token budgets to produce dense, structured continuity documentation.

Structured handoff notes should be used instead of plain text summaries when you need to save session state, prepare handoff documentation, or summarize work before context compaction, ensuring consistent formatting and token efficiency.
