Use whenever the user wants to hand off to a fresh agent, is ending a session mid-task, asks for a handoff doc or a summary of state, decisions and next steps for the next session, or starts a new session that picks up prior work."

Handoff
> Derived from [Matt Pocock's handoff](https://github.com/mattpocock/skills/tree/main/skills/productivity/handoff) (MIT). Matt's no-duplication discipline preserved verbatim. Additions: tools + references + cs-* wrapper (see [references/companion_tooling.md](references/companion_tooling.md)).
Write a handoff document summarising the current conversation so a fresh agent can continue the work. Save it to a path produced by `mktemp -t handoff-XXXXXX.md` (read the file before you write to it).
Suggest the skills to be used, if any, by the next session.
Do not duplicate content already captured in other artifacts (PRDs, plans, ADRs, issues, commits, diffs). Reference them by path or URL instead.
If the user passed arguments, treat them as a description of what the next session will focus on and tailor the doc accordingly.
Sections
- **Goal of next session** (from user argument or inferred)
- **State of play** (what's done, what's blocking)
- **Open decisions** (what the next agent must decide)
- **Skills to use** (concrete list)
- **Artifacts** (paths/URLs to PRDs, plans, ADRs, issues, branches, PRs — do not duplicate)
Tooling
See [references/companion_tooling.md](references/companion_tooling.md). Tools: template + dedup + recommender. Agent: `cs-handoff-author`. Command: `/cs-handoff`.

- Which coding agents can use handoff?
- handoff installs in Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot, OpenCode and Windsurf with the skills CLI, using each agent's flag shown on this page. Flowy's auto-invocation, which fires a skill when your prompt matches, runs in Claude Code only.
