SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Helps you hand off ongoing conversations between sessions by packaging the current context into timestamped transfers that can be picked up later across projects.

Core Features & Use Cases

Two modes: drop to snapshot the current session; pickup to resume from the latest transfer, across projects.
Global store located at ~/.claude/transfers/ with pending and archive organization and origin/audit data.
Self-actuating transfer files with a preamble so any agent can use them and secrets are redacted before writing.

Quick Start

Drop a transfer to snapshot your current conversation, then pick up the latest transfer to resume in a new session.

FAQPage Schema

How do I hand off my working context to a new session?▼

Session handoff works by dropping a transfer that snapshots your current conversation, then picking up that transfer in a new session. Files are stored globally in ~/.claude/transfers/ with origin and audit tracking.

Can I resume work from a previous session across different projects?▼

Cross-project session resume uses a global store at ~/.claude/transfers/ where transfer files are saved. Any project can pick up a previous session's context from this shared archive location.

What's the best way to keep an audit trail of session context transfers?▼

An audit trail of session transfers is maintained automatically using timestamped files with origin and pickup records in a global archive. Lineage tracking orders past handoffs for review.

Does the context transfer workflow redact secrets before saving?▼

Yes, secrets are automatically redacted before writing transfer files. The workflow packages context into self-actuating files with a preamble that strips sensitive information before storage.

How does a transfer file help an agent resume my work?▼

Transfer files use a self-actuating preamble so any agent can parse and resume work. They include a strict template with purpose prompts, lineage data, and suggested skills to guide the pickup workflow.
