Generate a structured handoff for session continuity.
Creating a Handoff
Capture in .ijfw/memory/handoff.md:
Handoff: <timestamp> ==================== Status ------ | Phase N | Wave NA | Step N.M | <done/in-progress/blocked> | <What's done. What's in progress. What percentage complete.> Decisions --------- <Key decisions made this session with rationale. 1 line each.> Modified Files -------------- <Files created/edited with brief description of changes.> Next Steps ---------- <Ordered list. What to do first when resuming.> Blockers -------- <Open questions, missing info, external dependencies.>
Rules:
- Max 30 lines. This loads at next SessionStart -- keep it lean.
- Specific file paths, function names, line numbers.
- Present tense for current state, imperative for next steps.
- No filler. Every line must help the next session start faster.
Loading a Handoff
Read .ijfw/memory/handoff.md. Display a 2-3 line summary. Set context for continuation.
