What Handoff does

Generates a complete handoff document capturing the current conversation's context, decisions, and work-in-progress, so another LLM can pick up seamlessly. Use when hitting context limits or switching AI models.

Handoff is cataloged under AI Engineering on DirSkills. Handoff comes from a repository tagged ai, claude, claude-code, claude-skills and llm.

Documentation

README

handoff

A Claude skill that generates a complete handoff document of your current conversation, so another LLM (ChatGPT, a fresh Claude session, Gemini, anything) can pick up exactly where this one left off.

Hitting the context limit mid-task is the worst moment to lose your work. This skill turns the whole session into one portable markdown document: the goal, every decision made, the exact current draft or code (verbatim, not summarized), what was already tried and rejected, and the single next step. Paste it into any model and keep going.

What you get
