Generates concise project snapshots to preserve state and restore context across AI session resets.
The Handoff Writer skill is an essential utility for maintaining continuity during long development cycles or when dealing with AI session limits. It creates a high-signal snapshot in a dedicated HANDOFF.md file, capturing the current task status, next actions, and the results of recent verification steps. By linking to existing documentation like PLANS.md and ADRs rather than duplicating content, it ensures that the AI can quickly regain full context after a reset without wasting tokens, making it perfect for complex, multi-stage engineering tasks.
