argument-hint
<thread-slug> [to <agent-name>]
/session:thread:handoff
Create a structured handoff brief for a thread and transfer the claim to another agent.
Procedure
Parse arguments: <thread-slug> is required, to <agent-name> is optional.
Run ~/.claude/skills/session/scripts/session.sh thread show <slug> to get thread state.
Read the thread's tasks.md — note completed vs remaining items.
Read plan.md or done.plan.*.md if they exist — note the approach.
Check current claim: thread claim check <slug>.
Generate Handoff Brief
Write a concise handoff to stdout (do NOT create a file):
## Thread Handoff: <slug>
**From:** <current claimer or "unclaimed">
**To:** <target agent or "next available">
**Generated:** <ISO timestamp>
### Status
<1-2 sentences on where things stand>
### Completed
<checked items from tasks.md>
### Remaining
<unchecked items from tasks.md>
### Key Context
<important decisions, constraints, or gotchas from plan/tasks/reviews>
### Files
<list of thread files with their status>
If to <agent-name> was specified:
Release current claim: thread claim release <slug>
Set new claim: thread claim set <slug> --agent <agent-name>
Announce the transfer.
If no target agent specified, just output the brief without transferring.
No Thread Found
If the thread doesn't exist, say so and list available threads via thread list.
