context-baton

End-of-session handoff that captures session knowledge, dispatches output across the canonical 7-bucket docs/ taxonomy (decisions/runbooks/analysis/references/reviews/handoffs/deliverables — aligned with memory-hygiene v3.3), triggers a doc-freshness reverse-lint + skill-freshness audit to catch stale normative guidance, emits the future-to-do plan's follow-up items as GitHub issues, updates memory, and prepares next-session prompts. Use when: (1) user says 'wrap up', 'hand over', 'create handoff', 'end of session', 'write handoff', 'session handoff'; (2) non-trivial work session (3+ tasks) is ending; (3) context window is approaching limits; (4) user says 'consolidate', 'what's the current state', 'start here document' after parallel sessions; (5) the session produced artifacts that belong in more than one docs/ bucket (ADR + analysis + runbook + review). Includes cross-session consolidation when 3+ handoffs accumulate and a mandatory reverse-lint verify step against any lessons.md / feedback_*.md touched th

Use when orchestrating long-running autonomous work — overnight runs, multi-hour research, multi-track experiments, 10+ hour jobs — where a single Claude context window cannot hold the full run. Establishes a lean parent orchestrator, file-first subagents, and successor-handoff (fresh subagent spawned mid-run when context pressure rises). This is distinct from session-handoff, which is for end-of-run delivery to a human — use successor-handoff instead whenever the handoff is agent-to-agent and mid-run. Trigger on any mention of overnight workflows, autonomous multi-track runs, context-window budgeting for long jobs, successor or continuation agents, mid-run context pressure, file-first orchestration, lean-parent patterns, or scenarios where the user needs work to continue without a human in the loop.
