Clipboard Handover

Generate a terse YAML handover, display in chat, copy to clipboard. Nothing written to disk.

When to use

• User wants a portable summary to paste into Slack, a ticket, or another Claude session
• Quick context capture without file clutter

Procedure

1. Gather context

Run in parallel:

• git rev-parse --show-toplevel
• git branch --show-current
• git log --oneline -3
• git status --short
• git diff --stat

2. Compose handover

Review conversation context and git state. Use this exact format, terse telegraphic English, no articles/filler:

# Clipboard Handover
repo: name
branch: name
last_commit: hash msg
goal: one sentence
done: comma-separated items or ~
next: single most important step — be specific
watch_out: one warning/gotcha or ~
uncommitted: yes/no + brief desc

Keep under 12 lines.

3. Display and copy

1. Display the YAML in chat as a code block.
2. Copy to clipboard:

   echo "<the handover text>" | wl-copy
   

   Fall back to xclip -selection clipboard if wl-copy fails.
3. Confirm: "Copied to clipboard."

Notes

• No files created, no session spawned
• For file-based handover use /session-transfer:write-handover or /session-transfer:quick-handover
• If user passes args (e.g. /clipboard-handover focus on API changes), incorporate into summary
