Documentation

README

Excerpt

Save Handoff

Persist a compact resumable handoff when the user wants a restart point, summary, or checkpoint.

When to Use

Only activate when user explicitly says:

"Save a handoff"
"Checkpoint this"
"Leave me a summary"
"Remember where we are"

Never auto-save or suggest saving. This is always user-initiated.

Why This Is A Handoff

This reusable package works across many agents. It must not pretend to have a real transcript importer when the runtime may not provide one.

So this skill creates a structured handoff summary with nmem t create instead of claiming a lossless thread save.

If the user's tool has a dedicated Nowledge connector with real thread import, prefer that native package instead.

Usage

Create a structured handoff thread:
