handoff

v2.9.0

Compact the current conversation into a handoff document for another agent to pick up. Save to a user-configured location (OS temp, home folder, or per-project .handoff/), redact secrets before write, suggest skills for the next session, and auto-load the latest handoff on the next SessionStart. First-run setup asks where to save so the project folder never gets cluttered. Use when the user says 'hand this off', 'handoff doc', 'summarize this for a new session', 'compact this conversation', 'I'm ending this session', or any variation signaling intent to pass work to a fresh agent.

Compact the current conversation into a handoff document for another agent to pick up. Save to a user-configured location (OS temp, home folder, or per-project .handoff/), redact secrets before write, suggest skills for the next session, and auto-load the latest handoff on the next SessionStart. First-run setup asks where to save so the project folder never gets cluttered. Use when the user says 'hand this off', 'handoff doc', 'summarize this for a new session', 'compact this conversation', 'I'm ending this session', 'pick this up later', or any variation signaling intent to pass work to a fresh agent. Also trigger on implicit signals: the user announcing they're switching machines, ending the day mid-task, or context is growing long without a natural stopping point.
