Session Handoff

Use this skill when

  • ending a meaningful work session
  • pausing a migration mid-phase
  • handing work from one subagent or session to another
  • recording partial completion honestly

Goals

  • preserve continuity safely
  • prevent hidden context loss
  • distinguish implemented from verified
  • make the next safest step obvious

Required handoff contents

  1. What changed
  2. Current status
  3. What is verified
  4. What is still unverified
  5. Open risks or questions
  6. Recommended next safest step
  7. Files/docs to read first next time

Rules

  • do not mark something verified without evidence
  • do not hide partial work
  • do not leave future sessions guessing where to resume
  • do not rely on memory alone

Output contract

Return a handoff note using the required handoff contents exactly.
