SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Write high-signal handoffs (HANDOFF.md or docs/handoffs/<slug>.md) that include validation evidence and actionable next steps.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Handoff artifacts: HANDOFF.md and docs/handoffs/<slug>.md
  • Validation: Include evidence of checks or verifications
  • Next steps: Provide exact commands and guidance for handoff recipients

Quick Start

  1. Capture repo snapshot: git status -sb and git log -n 5 --oneline
  2. Capture quality gate status: ./verify.sh --ui=false
  3. Write a handoff with Problem Statement → Current Snapshot → Next Steps (with exact commands) → Risks → References.

Frequently Asked Questions about task-handoff-writing

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I write a handoff that my team can actually act on?▼

A handoff captures the problem, current repository state, and exact next steps with commands. Include validation evidence (test results, quality gate status) and risks so the recipient knows what's done, what's blocked, and how to proceed without rework.

When should I create a handoff document instead of just handing off verbally?▼

Create a handoff when context limits force you to pause work, a teammate needs to pick up mid-project, or a task requires review preparation. Written handoffs preserve reasoning and prevent context loss across team transitions.

What should go into a handoff to make verification easier?▼

Include concrete validation evidence—git status, quality gate results, test output—alongside the problem statement and current snapshot. This lets the recipient verify state immediately without re-running diagnostics or guessing what's been checked.

Can I use handoffs to document work I can't finish right now?▼

Yes. Handoffs are designed for parked or incomplete tasks. Capture your snapshot, list blockers and risks, provide exact commands to resume, and document references so the next person can pick up without loss of context or progress.

What's the best structure for handoff documentation?▼

Use Problem Statement, Current Snapshot (git and quality checks), Next Steps with exact commands, Risks, and References. This format moves the recipient from understanding the state to action in a single document.
