What Handoff does

Handoff is cataloged under Automation on DirSkills. Handoff comes from a repository tagged agent-skills and go.

Documentation

README

Excerpt

Write a handoff document summarising the current conversation so a fresh agent can continue the work.

Save it to .plan/handoffs/<YYYY-MM-DD>-<slug>.md at the repository root, creating the directory if needed (.plan/ is committed to version control — it is the project's shared planning memory). If not working inside a repository, save to the OS temporary directory instead and tell the user the absolute path.

Include a "suggested skills" section, listing skills the next agent should invoke — by name, with a one-line reason each — noting they apply only if available in that agent's environment.

Do not duplicate content already captured in other artifacts (specs, plans, ADRs, issues, commits, diffs). Reference them by path or URL instead.

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
