| description | Use handoff tools for session continuity. Create handoffs at end of session, read handoffs at start, search past handoffs for context. Trigger words - "handoff", "end session", "wrap up", "continue from", "where we left off", "context high", "running low", "before I forget". |
Handoff Skill
"Session continuity through structured handoffs"
Proactive Triggers
MUST Create Handoff When:
- Context > 80% and significant work done
- User says: "wrap up", "end session", "that's all", "done for now"
- User says: "before I forget", "note this down"
- Session has 3+ commits without handoff today
SHOULD Read Handoff When:
- Session starts and recent handoff exists
- User says: "where were we", "continue from", "last time"
- User references previous work
SHOULD Search Handoffs When:
- User asks about past work on a topic
- User says: "did we work on", "when did we", "find the handoff"
