Handoff

Compact the current conversation into a handoff document for another agent to pick up. References existing artifacts (PRDs, plans, ADRs, issues, commits, diffs) by path or URL instead of duplicating them. Use when user wants to hand off the conversation to a fresh agent or starts a new session that picks up prior work.

How to use it

  1. Start your plan and connect your AI once
  2. Add the skill to your AI, one time only: press Copy skill and paste it into your AI's instructions: a project in ChatGPT, Claude or Grok, a Gem in Gemini, an agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot, or a rule in Cursor. It stays there for every new chat. In Kimi, paste it at the start of a new chat.
  3. Ask for the task in your own words, or say it directly:
Use the Handoff skill to help me with this.

Handoff

Derived from Matt Pocock's handoff (MIT). Matt's no-duplication discipline preserved verbatim. Additions: tools + references + cs-* wrapper (see [references/companion_tooling.md](references/companion_tooling.md)).

Write a handoff document summarising the current conversation so a fresh agent can continue the work. Save it to a path produced by mktemp -t handoff-XXXXXX.md (read the file before you write to it).

Suggest the skills to be used, if any, by the next session.

Do not duplicate content already captured in other artifacts (PRDs, plans, ADRs, issues, commits, diffs). Reference them by path or URL instead.

If the user passed arguments, treat them as a description of what the next session will focus on and tailor the doc accordingly.

Sections

  • Goal of next session (from user argument or inferred)
  • State of play (what's done, what's blocking)
  • Open decisions (what the next agent must decide)
  • Skills to use (concrete list)
  • Artifacts (paths/URLs to PRDs, plans, ADRs, issues, branches, PRs — do not duplicate)

Tooling

See [references/companion_tooling.md](references/companion_tooling.md). Tools: template + dedup + recommender. Agent: cs-handoff-author. Command: /cs:handoff.

Version: 1.0.0 Derived: Matt Pocock (MIT) + this repo's wrapper
