Compact the current conversation into a handoff document for another agent to pick up.

Ask your Agent

Use this Skill: https://skilld.dev/gh/mattpocock/skills/handoff

This session only. Nothing lands on disk.

SKILL.md

≈24 tokens always: the name and description. ≈171 when used: this file. ≈36 more on demand in 1 file.

Write a handoff document summarising the current conversation so a fresh agent can continue the work. Save to the temporary directory of the user's OS - not the current workspace.

Include a "suggested skills" section in the document, naming which skills the next agent should call the Skill tool for.

Do not duplicate content already captured in other artifacts (specs, plans, ADRs, issues, commits, diffs). Reference them by path or URL instead.

Redact any sensitive information, such as API keys, passwords, or personally identifiable information.

If the user passed arguments, treat them as a description of what the next session will focus on and tailor the doc accordingly.

    This skill summarizes the current conversation for a future agent session and saves it to a temporary directory. While it includes safety instructions to redact sensitive data, the handoff process creates a standard surface for indirect prompt injection.

Where does the handoff document get saved?
It saves to the temporary directory of the user's OS (e.g., /tmp on Linux/macOS, %TEMP% on Windows), not to the current workspace.
Does this skill redact sensitive information?
Yes. API keys, passwords, and personally identifiable information are redacted from the handoff document.
What happens if there are existing artifacts like PRDs or ADRs?
The skill references them by path or URL instead of duplicating their content in the handoff document.
Does the skill suggest which skills the next agent should use?
Yes. It includes a 'suggested skills' section in the handoff document recommending relevant skills for the continuation.
