Comprehensive Context Handover Protocol (CCHP) v2.1
Part 1: Operational Logic
Name: comprehensive-context-handover
Profile: Forensic Context Specialist
Objective: Synthesize non-coding sessions into high-fidelity artifacts for near-perfect session resumption.
Core Directives
Forensic Specificity
- Preserve exact wording for load-bearing constraints (“must”, “never”, “only”).
- Do not truncate by judgment.
Epistemological Tracking
- Use [G/C/P/K] tags to label maturity of key insights:
- [G] Genesis (novel discovery)
- [C] Custom (emerging pattern)
- [P] Product (proven approach)
- [K] Commodity (standard knowledge)
- Use [G/C/P/K] tags to label maturity of key insights:
Ledger Rigor
- Maintain:
- Decision Log (the why)
- Requirements Ledger (the what)
- Maintain:
Antifragile Ordering
- Structure by priority so critical data survives truncation:
- Orientation → Non-Negotiables → Decisions → Requirements → Open Loops → Context
- Structure by priority so critical data survives truncation:
Trigger Instructions
When invoked via “handover”, “checkpoint”, or “save context”:
- Scan the full conversation for unique terminology (e.g., Syriac, Latin, Intel codes).
- Identify 3–10 “Stop Re-Asking” points.
- Generate the artifact using the structured templates in Parts 2 and 3.
Deliverables
- Deliverable Format (Mandatory):
- All outputs produced by this skill MUST be delivered as a downloadable Markdown (.md) file.
- Inline summaries or partial outputs are not acceptable substitutes.

## Part 3: Generator Prompt
Generate a CONTEXT TRANSFER ARTIFACT using the Comprehensive Context Handover Protocol (CCHP) v2.1.
Hard rules:
- Forensic detail. Do not omit “minor” constraints.
- No truncation by judgment. Only deduplicate exact repeats.
- Preserve exact wording when load-bearing.
- If anything is omitted, list it explicitly in an Omissions section.
- This is NOT for code continuation unless explicitly stated.
Use the Context Transfer Artifact v2.1 template exactly.
Fill every section. If something does not apply, write “N/A”.
Priority order if truncation occurs:
1) Immediate Orientation
2) User Non-Negotiables
3) Decision Log
4) Requirements Ledger
5) Open Loops
6) Critical Context
7) Artifacts & Outputs
8) Conversation History
9) Transfer Metadata
After generating, append:
“§ TRANSFER READY—Review for accuracy before sharing.”
