Save Handoff
Use this when the user explicitly asks for a handoff, checkpoint, summary to resume later, or to remember where the work stands. It is also the fallback when a ZCode hook context does not expose a readable transcript_path or the Stop hook did not fire.
This Skill creates a structured summary. It is not a full transcript import. The plugin's hook path can import a hook transcript with nmem t sync --from zcode, but a handoff only preserves the summary you write.
Handoff format
Include:
- Goal
- Decisions
- Files
- Risks
- Next
Prefer MCP thread creation when available. Otherwise use:
nmem --json t create \
-t "Session Handoff - <topic>" \
-c "Goal: ... Decisions: ... Files: ... Risks: ... Next: ..." \
--source zcode \
--space "<space name>"
If no real ambient space is configured, omit --space and use the default lane.
After success, report that a handoff was saved, include its title and thread ID when available, and state that it is a summary rather than a transcript import. If saving fails, report the error and do not imply that a checkpoint exists.
