Handover Archival
Overview
Handovers are permanent historical artifacts, not temporary files. When work completes, mark the status and let CI archive it.
When Work is Complete
Add this marker near the top of the handover (within first 20 lines):
## Status: Complete
Do NOT:
- Delete handover documents (history is valuable)
- Manually move files (CI script handles this)
Finding Past Context
| Location | Contents |
|---|---|
ai_docs/Handovers/ |
Active, in-progress handovers |
ai_docs/Handovers/Completed/ |
68+ archived handovers - search here for past work |
Archival Script
# Dry run - see what would be archived
python scripts/archive_completed_handovers.py
# Actually move completed handovers
python scripts/archive_completed_handovers.py --apply
The script scans for ## Status: Complete (case-insensitive) and uses git mv to archive.
