Handoff
by Matt Pocock · reviewed by Mike Reams
Compacts the current session into a handoff document, so a fresh agent can continue the work without the conversation.
What you get
One document that says where the work stands and which skills the next session should load, pointing at specs and commits instead of repeating them.
- When to use it
- At the end of a session, or when a conversation has grown too long to continue in.
- Ask for it like this
- “Write a handoff for the next session; it will finish the import step.”
- Limits
- It redacts keys, passwords and personal details, and it refers to existing specs and commits instead of copying them.
What I changed, and why I run it
- Text only. I changed where the document is saved, so it never lands in an app's repository, and added a rule that client work stays in its own workspace.
- Sessions forget. A handoff is the cheapest way I know to make the next one start where this one stopped.
- sessions
- context
- continuity
