Excerpt

Session Handoff Skill

When to use

User is ending a session and wants to preserve context for later
Context window is getting large and a fresh start would be beneficial
Handing off work to another person or AI session
User says "handoff", "save session", "wrap up", or "context transfer"

Skip when

Session has minimal context that does not warrant a handoff document
User simply wants to end the conversation without resuming later
Work is fully complete with nothing pending

Creates a handoff document capturing session context, delivered via Claude Code's Plan Mode so the user gets a native "clear context and continue implementing" option.

Execution Protocol (exact order, no skipping)
