To save task context for cross-session continuity, the Skill captures your active task state, subtask progress, blockers, and open questions. It writes this data directly to a handoff.yml file to preserve your work.

When you resume a coding session, the Skill detects prior handoffs automatically by reading the handoff.yml file. It reloads the saved task state and open questions so you can continue exactly where you left off.

The best way to facilitate a task handoff is to save the active task state, including progress and blockers, into a structured handoff.yml file. This provides a clear, standardized context snapshot for the next developer.

Yes, this session handoff tool requires reading from existing .ai/tasks/*.yml files to gather current task details. It then writes the compiled progress and context data to .ai/tasks/handoff.yml.

Yes, you can validate task progress data because the Skill includes data validation checkpoints during the save process. This ensures the captured task state and blockers are structurally sound before writing to handoff.yml.
