# Session Handoff
Write a grounded handoff document — and a one-line continuation memory — so a fresh
session can resume exactly where this one left off.
**Announce at start:** "I'm using the session-handoff skill to write a session handoff."
> **Human-invoked only.** A human fires this skill directly (slash command or explicit
> ask) — before `/clear`, `/compact`, a context limit, or a teammate handoff. It stays
> off every agent-trigger surface by design.
## When a human uses this
- Before `/clear` or `/compact`, mid-task, when context is about to be lost.
- End of a working session, to seed the next one.
- Handing work to a teammate or another agent.
Optional argument: a short description of what the next session will focus on — used to
tailor Work In Progress / Loose Threads / Suggested Skills.
## Pipeline
1. **Gather (read-only, run the commands — do not recall):**
`git status -sb`, `git log --oneline -15`, `git diff --stat`, branch + ahead/behind;
`bd ready`, `bd blocked`, `bd count --by-status`, in-progress beads; list the
spec, plan, and architecture-decision-record files touched this session.
Done when: every listed command has run and its output is captured.
2. **Synthesize** into the bundled template (`handoff-template.md`). **Reference
artifacts by path — never paste their bodies** (commits, ADRs, specs, plans, diffs).
Duplicating bloats the doc and goes stale.
Done when: every section maps to a captured fact, referenced by path.
3. **Write the doc** — Default: `.internal/handoff/YYYY-MM-DD[-HHMMSS]-<topic>-handoff.md`
(`-HHMMSS` only if a same-day handoff exists).
(The same-day check globs the inbox `.internal/handoff/*.md` only; archived docs under `archive/` are out of scope and do not affect same-day naming.)
If the human names another location,
write there. `mkdir -p` the target first.
Done when: the doc exists at the target path.
4. **Write the continuation memory** —
`bd remember "continuation-<date>-<topic>: <one-line pointer to doc path + headline state>"`
(episodic continuation record; one-line pointer only).
Done when: `bd remember` has run for the continuation key.
5. **Verification (externally anchored — output the result block):**
- Cross-check each state line against the **captured Phase-1 command output**.
- **Gitignore safety:** `git check-ignore <output-path>`; if NOT ignored, warn the
human ("⚠️ <dir> is not gitignored; a handoff can contain sensitive session
state") and offer to add it to `.gitignore` **before** writing.
- `ls <path>` confirms the doc exists; `bd memories <key>` confirms the memory.
- **Secret-scan grep** over the doc (`sk-`, `ghp_`, `AKIA`, `-----BEGIN`,
`password=`) — a backstop, not a guarantee.
- The narrative synthesis is the author's recollection — not externally verified;
that is why it references artifacts by path.
Done when: the confirmation block is output — doc path · memory key ·
gitignore-safety result · secret-scan result.
## Doctrine
- **Redact secrets** (keys, tokens, passwords, PII) — the doc lands on disk and may be
shared. This is a hard rule; never weaken it.
- **Reference, don't duplicate** — point at commits/ADRs/specs by path.
- **Ground every fact** — run the gather commands; never invent state. If a command
fails (not a git repo, `bd` absent), degrade gracefully and note the gap.
## Red Flags (low-independence backstop — not the primary guard)
| Rationalization | Reality |
|---|---|
| "I'll write it from memory" | Run the gather commands — recollection drifts. |
| "I'll add it to the skill index so the agent finds it" | Forbidden — human-invoked only. |
| "The output dir is probably gitignored" | Run `git check-ignore` — secrets to a tracked path is a leak. |
## Integration
**Standalone.** Human-invoked only, with no skill, hook, or agent-routing surface
pointing to it. Read-side counterpart: `getting-up-to-speed` reads the latest
`.internal/handoff/` doc (no skill-to-skill call) and archives it to
`.internal/handoff/archive/` on close — `.internal/handoff/` is an unread inbox, so a
stale doc is never re-read as the last session.

Listed tools are metadata hints, not tested compatibility. Agent prompts are suggested handoffs.

Repository metadata and review signals are advisory. Popularity, source discovery and successful execution are different facts.
