Documentation

README

Excerpt

Handover

Append a short, dated entry to RepoHandover.md at the repo root (newest-first) capturing where things stand, so you or a future agent can resume. Keep it lean — a handful of lines, no git audit. The user already opted in by running /handover, so draft and write it directly — do NOT ask for approval or show a draft to confirm. Just write, report one line, and stop. Never commit.

Procedure

Draft from the conversation — do NOT run a git audit. You already know what happened this session. At most, run a single git branch --show-current if you want the branch in the header. Do not run git status/log/diff sweeps — that's the verbosity we removed.

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