Add session-handoff skill #12

Description

Summary

Add a /handoff skill that generates a handoff document for session continuity.

What it does

Generate a concise handoff doc containing:

  • What was worked on (from git diff/log)
  • Current state (passing tests? lint clean? build working?)
  • What's in progress / unfinished
  • Decisions made and why
  • Known blockers or open questions
  • Suggested next steps

Output to .claude/handoff.md (or similar) so next session can /read it to pick up context.

Why

Context resets between sessions. Starting cold means re-discovering state, re-reading files, re-understanding decisions. A handoff doc bridges that gap.

Prior art

Notes

  • Should be lightweight — one page max
  • Pair naturally with /wrap-up (wrap-up captures learnings, handoff captures state)
  • Could overwrite previous handoff each time (it's ephemeral by nature)
