Context Handoff
This skill loads handoff content from a previous session that reached the context threshold.
Instructions
When this skill is invoked:
1. **Check for structured state** at `.claude/claudikins-acm/handoff-state.json` 2. **Read the handoff markdown** at `.claude/claudikins-acm/handoff.md` 3. **Present both** to understand what was being worked on 4. **Restore todos** if active todos exist in the state 5. **Continue the work** from where it was left off
File Locations
| File | Purpose | | ------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------- | | `.claude/claudikins-acm/handoff-state.json` | Structured state (preferred) | | `.claude/claudikins-acm/handoff.md` | Human-readable summary |
Reading the State
The structured state JSON contains:
- `context.current_objective` - What was being worked on
- `context.active_todos` - Pending/in-progress todos to restore
- `context.key_files_modified` - Recently changed files
- `git.branch` - Git branch at handoff time
- `git.modified_files` - Uncommitted changes
After Reading
1. **Restore todos** using TodoWrite if `active_todos` has entries 2. **Summarise** the previous session's state for the user 3. **Ask** if they want to continue from where they left off 4. **Clean up** the handoff files after successful restoration
Cleanup
After successfully restoring context, offer to clean up:
rm -f .claude/claudikins-acm/handoff-state.json
rm -f .claude/claudikins-acm/handoff.md
If No Handoff Exists
If neither file exists, inform the user:
- No handoff is currently active
- A handoff is created when context usage hits the threshold (default 60%)
- They can configure the threshold via /acm:config
