| name | handoff |
| description | Compact the current conversation into a handoff document for another agent to pick up. |
| argument-hint | What will the next session be used for? |
Write a handoff document summarising the current conversation so a fresh agent can continue the work.
Save location
Save to .qwen/handoff/ under the current project root directory.
- If
.qwen/handoff/ does not exist, create it.
- Filename format:
YYYY-MM-DD-<short-slug>.md (e.g. 2026-06-15-db-refactor.md).
- If a file with the same name already exists, append a numeric suffix:
-2, -3, etc.
Content rules
- Include a "suggested skills" section in the document, which suggests skills that the agent should invoke.
- Do not duplicate content already captured in other artifacts (PRDs, plans, ADRs, issues, commits, diffs). Reference them by path or URL instead.
- Redact any sensitive information, such as API keys, passwords, or personally identifiable information.
- If the user passed arguments, treat them as a description of what the next session will focus on and tailor the doc accordingly.
Resuming in a new session
Add the following note at the bottom of every handoff document:
---
> To resume: read this file in your new session, then follow the suggested skills.
