SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill prevents context loss by producing a lightweight, task-scoped handoff document when you explicitly need to transfer work to another session or agent.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • On-demand session handoff generation: Creates or updates a concise handoff Markdown file only when the user requests handoff or an approved contract requires it.
  • Safe, non-durable output: Avoids promoting sensitive durable memory and excludes secrets, raw logs, full file contents, and irrelevant history.
  • Structured continuity fields: Captures goal, active contract, scope boundaries, touched artifacts, decisions, open questions, risks, verification state, blocker reason, and the suggested next-session prompt.

Quick Start

Ask for a handoff by saying: "Please generate a session handoff for my current task, and include the open questions and the suggested next-session prompt."

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a session handoff document for task continuity?

To generate a session handoff document, request a handoff during your active task. The system produces a lightweight Markdown file capturing task-relevant continuity, including goals, touched artifacts, open questions, and suggested next-session prompts.

What is session continuity and when do I need a context preservation handoff?

Session continuity preserves task-relevant context across agent transitions. You need a handoff during BLOCKED or IDLE transitions, or when transferring work to another session, ensuring the next agent receives goals, scope, and verification state without context loss.

How to transfer open questions and operational notes to a new session using Markdown?

Transfer open questions and operational notes by generating a structured Markdown handoff file. This document safely captures active contracts, decisions, risks, and blocker reasons while excluding raw logs and irrelevant conversation history.

Does a session handoff Markdown file store secrets or full file contents?

A session handoff Markdown file does not store secrets, raw logs, full file contents, or irrelevant history. It avoids promoting sensitive durable memory by default, preserving only task-relevant continuity for safe operational handoffs.

What is the best way to preserve task context for agent recovery without durable memory?

The best way to preserve task context without durable memory is generating an on-demand Markdown handoff. It captures scope boundaries, verification states, and next-session prompts only when explicitly requested or required by approved workflow contracts.

Can I use a handoff document for BLOCKED and IDLE workflow transitions?

Yes, you can use a handoff document for BLOCKED and IDLE transitions. It applies to these specific workflow states by capturing the blocker reason and suggested next-session prompt, ensuring seamless task transfer when work resumes.
