Write a handoff on the active issue (the ticket you are leaving mid-way) so the next agent can continue. This is for incomplete work — a snapshot of where things stand.
Do not duplicate content already captured in other artifacts (PRDs, ADRs, commits, diffs). Reference them by path or URL instead.
The end-of-day Journal is a separate skill (
/journal) reconstructed from git history. Handoff does NOT write the journal — they fire at different moments (handoff = leaving a ticket; journal = end of day).
Selected by output: in CLAUDE.local.md:

42-… or …-issue-42) → issue #42.Use this body. If the user passed arguments, treat them as context for what the next session should focus on and tailor the Next line accordingly.
### Handoff — YYYY-MM-DD
- **Decided:** <key decisions made this session>
- **Open:** <unresolved questions or pending items>
- **Next:** <what the next session should do>
- **Skills to use:** <e.g. /tdd, /verify>
gh issue comment <issue#> --body-file <tmp>
Comments are append-only by nature — never edit a previous handoff comment, post a new one.
Add the handoff as a comment on the active ticket via the Jira MCP tools.
Find the active issue note (search-notes). Append the handoff under ## Handoff (create the section if missing). Never replace previous entries — always append.
