Handoff
Create a concise handoff note so another human or agent can continue without re-discovery.
When to use
Use this skill only when the user explicitly asks to:
- hand off work
- prepare a transfer note
- create a resume checkpoint
- summarize progress for another human or agent
Do not invoke this skill implicitly.
Workflow
- Capture the task and current status.
- Include the plan if the conversation contains one.
- Separate completed work from open work.
- List confirmed human decisions explicitly.
- Record blockers, open questions, and the next step.
- Write the handoff doc to
.agents/.handoff/.
Rules
- Keep the note concise.
- Include
Plan only when the conversation already contains a concrete plan.
- Preserve plan structure when possible, and mark completed, in-progress, or pending items when that information is available.
- Do not invent a plan, blocker, or open question that does not appear in the conversation.
- Keep confirmed human decisions separate from AI assumptions or suggestions.
- Only include
AI Assumptions or Suggestions when they help the next person continue the work, and keep them clearly separate from Human Decisions.
- End with one concrete next step. It must be a single clear action; sub-steps are allowed only when they all serve that one action.
