What Handoff does

Handoff compresses the current conversation into a handoff document, saved to $TMPDIR, so a new agent can continue the work seamlessly. Use /handoff when handing off a session to another agent or after a long conversation.

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

Documentation

README

From the original repository

撰写一份交接文档，总结当前对话内容，使全新的 agent 能够无缝继续工作。

输出位置

保存到 $TMPDIR/handoff-YYYY-MM-DD-HHMM.md（用实际时间戳替换）。生成后告知用户完整路径。

文档结构

按以下结构组织交接文档：

背景与目标 — 一句话概述当前任务
已完成工作 — 带路径/URL 引用
当前状态 — 进展到哪一步、卡在哪里
待办事项 — 下一个 agent 需要做什么
推荐技能 — 建议调用的 skill 列表
关键上下文 — 环境、分支、配置等必要信息

规则

不要重复已存在于其他产物（规格文档、计划、ADR、issue、commit、diff）中的内容，改为通过路径或 URL 引用。
脱敏处理：删除 API key、密码、个人身份信息等敏感内容。
如果用户传入了参数，将其视为下一次会话的重点方向，据此调整文档内容。
如果当前对话极短（少于 3 轮实质交流），直接告知用户无需生成交接文档，除非用户坚持。
