Session Handoff

Two modes sharing one state contract. HANDOFF packages current work so the next agent (or future session) resumes without re-discovery. PICKUP rehydrates from that package at session start. Pick the mode from intent: ending or pausing work = HANDOFF; starting on existing work = PICKUP.

Mode: HANDOFF

Produce a concise bullet package with these sections, in order. Every claim comes from a command you ran this session — re-run when stale, because a wrong handoff costs more than no handoff.

1. Scope/status — the task in one line, finished vs. remaining work, blockers.
2. Working tree — git status -sb summary; note local commits not yet pushed and whether you are in a worktree ( contains ).
