Context Handoff
This skill loads handoff content from a previous session that reached the context threshold.
Instructions
When this skill is invoked:
- Check for structured state at
.claude/claudikins-acm/handoff-state.json
- Read the handoff markdown at
.claude/claudikins-acm/handoff.md
- Present both to understand what was being worked on
- Restore todos if active todos exist in the state
- Continue the work from where it was left off
File Locations
| File | Purpose |
|---|
.claude/claudikins-acm/handoff-state.json | Structured state (preferred) |
.claude/claudikins-acm/handoff.md | Human-readable summary |
Reading the State
The structured state JSON contains:
context.current_objective - What was being worked oncontext.active_todos - Pending/in-progress todos to restorecontext.key_files_modified - Recently changed filesgit.branch - Git branch at handoff timegit.modified_files - Uncommitted changes
After Reading
- Restore todos using TodoWrite if
active_todos has entries
- Summarise the previous session's state for the user
- Ask if they want to continue from where they left off
- Clean up the handoff files after successful restoration
Cleanup
After successfully restoring context, offer to clean up:
rm -f .claude/claudikins-acm/handoff-state.json
rm -f .claude/claudikins-acm/handoff.md
If No Handoff Exists
If neither file exists, inform the user:
- No handoff is currently active
- A handoff is created when context usage hits the threshold (default 60%)
- They can configure the threshold via /acm:config
Claudikins Automatic Context Manager
To configure settings, use: /acm:config
