SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? When an APM Manager agent approaches its context window limit, critical working context risks being lost. This Skill preserves continuity by generating a structured Handoff Log and a handoff prompt so an incoming Manager instance can reconstruct project state. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Handoff Log Creation: Captures past actions, tracked Worker Handoffs, VC state (branches, worktrees, pending merges), and coordination insights in .apm/memory/handoffs/manager/. - Handoff Prompt Generation: Writes current-state instructions (outstanding Tasks, active Workers, next actions) to the Handoff Bus at .apm/bus/manager/handoff.md. - User Review Workflow: Presents both artifacts for review and directs the user to start a new chat with /apm-2-initiate-manager for auto-detection. - Use Case: A Manager coordinating Stage 3 of a multi-agent project nears its context limit; run this command to produce both artifacts so Manager instance N+1 resumes coordination without losing dependency context. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to run the apm-6-handoff-manager command to perform a Manager handoff before the context window fills up.

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I hand off an APM Manager session before context runs out?▼

Run the apm-6-handoff-manager command. It creates a Handoff Log in .apm/memory/handoffs/manager/ and writes a handoff prompt to .apm/bus/manager/handoff.md, then the incoming Manager auto-detects it via /apm-2-initiate-manager.

What is the difference between the Handoff Log and the handoff prompt?▼

The Handoff Log records past actions, decisions, and tracked Worker Handoffs in past tense. The handoff prompt captures current state, outstanding Tasks, and the immediate next action in present tense for the incoming Manager.

What information goes into the Manager Handoff Log?▼

The log includes coordination overview, tracked Worker Handoffs with dependency implications, VC state (active branches, worktrees, pending merges), user preferences, and coordination insights, with YAML frontmatter for instance and stage numbers.

Does the incoming Manager rely only on the Handoff Log?▼

No. The incoming Manager rebuilds primary context from planning documents, guides, skills, and Task Logs. The Handoff Log provides only supplementary working context not captured in those artifacts.

What happens if auto-compaction occurred during the Manager instance?▼

The Handoff Log must note the auto-compaction event and describe which portions of working context are reconstructed from the summary rather than observed first-hand.
