Included Skills2

handoffskills/handoff/SKILL.md

Write or update a handoff so a next agent with fresh context can continue — 'hand off', 'wrap up for the next agent', session ending, or right after mid-task compaction.

pickup-handoffskills/pickup-handoff/SKILL.md

Resume work from a handoff — a HANDOFF-*.md file, 'pick up where we left off', a pending-handoff beads issue, or a session-start pending-handoff notice.
