handoff
Capture session context for a fresh agent. Use for handoffs, context limits, switching focus, ending sessions, or splitting work across sessions.
Install
With your agent
Install OMGSkills skill "davidondrej/skills:handoff" into this agent's normal skills directory: call the OMGSkills MCP get_install_plan tool for your agent and run the script it returns (it installs only the pinned commit and verifies SKILL.md), and stop if MCP or the pin is unavailable. Do not overwrite or change existing skills without asking me.
Manual command
git clone https://github.com/davidondrej/skills /tmp/skills && ln -s /tmp/skills/skills/agent-orchestration/handoff ~/.claude/skills/handoffFrom README
Handoff Capture the context a fresh agent needs to continue without re-asking, re-discovering, or repeating mistakes. Core Principles Describe state. Write "Auth is implemented; logout is not started," not "Implement logout next." The next agent chooses actions from the context. Link existing artifacts. Reference PRDs, plans, ADRs, issues, commits, diffs, and design docs by path or URL instead of copying their content. Preserve why. Capture decisions, rejected approaches, and failures that code alone cannot explain. Require verification. Present claims as context to check against the actual code, not facts to trust blindly. Redact secrets and PII. Never include keys, tokens, passwords, or personal data. Name credential locations (e.g. ".env.local, not committed"), never values. Keep only useful context. Omit obvious, redundant, or explanatory material recoverable from code or project configuration. Procedure Read existing project instructions (AGENTS.md or equivalent).
