Handoff Skill (Gemini Edition)
Provides high-fidelity session continuity by capturing and injecting comprehensive context across sessions, leveraging Gemini's long context to ensure no technical detail is lost during transitions.
Workflow
- Context Capture:
/handoff captures the active ticket, branch, recent commits, working files, and Gemini's current "mental model" of the task.
- Manifest Generation: Writes a multi-repo context manifest to the
onex_state directory.
- Session Injection: On the next session start, Gemini automatically ingests the most recent manifest for the current workspace.
- Seamless Resumption: Gemini uses the injected context to immediately resume work without needing a new research phase.
Gemini Advantages
- Whole-Task Memory: Unlike simple message-based handoffs, Gemini can preserve its understanding of the entire project's architectural state.
- Intelligent Context Merging: Better at merging auto-checkpoints with explicit handoff messages to provide a more complete picture of the work-in-progress.
- Zero-Research Resumption: Drastically reduces the "warm-up" time for new sessions by providing a 100% accurate snapshot of the previous session's state.
Arguments
--message: Optional message for the next session (free text context).
