Generate a comprehensive handoff document so someone new can take over a project — current state, key people, essential knowledge, open items, and a first-30-days plan. Use when the user is handing off a project (trigger phrases include "generate a handoff", "hand off this project", "create a handoff doc", "I'm going on PTO / leaving / changing teams and need to document", "help someone take over") rather than a quick status read (use project-awareness for that).

## Install

```sh
git clone https://github.com/gleanwork/claude-plugins /tmp/claude-plugins && ln -s /tmp/claude-plugins/plugins/glean/skills/project-handoff ~/.claude/skills/project-handoff
```

## From README

Project Handoff Generate a comprehensive handoff document so someone new can take over a project. Gather everything they'd need: current state, the people who matter, tribal knowledge, open items, and a concrete ramp-up plan. Determine the project from the user's request. If no project is clear, ask which project they mean before proceeding. This is the heavyweight counterpart to the project-awareness skill (quick status reads). Use that one if the user just wants current status. Tools This skill drives the standard Glean MCP tools. If the host exposes the project-synthesizer agent, use it for project research. Otherwise delegate to a suitable research subagent when subagents are available, or gather the same material directly. For the param shape and pitfalls of search, chat, meetinglookup, and employeesearch, see the using-glean reference at using-glean/reference/.
