Command definition
handoff.mddescription: Properly end a swarm session - release reservations, sync state, generate continuation prompt
/swarm:handoff
Wrap up a swarm session cleanly.
Workflow
1. Summarize completed work and open blockers. 2. `hivemind_store()` to persist session learnings. 3. Agent team cleanup: if Teammate tool active, shutdown teammates before git sync. 4. Native task cleanup: mark remaining TaskList tasks completed/pending. 5. `swarmmail_release()` to free reservations (if any). 6. Update cells with `hive_update()` or `hive_close()`. 7. Use git commands directly to persist state (add, commit, push). 8. Provide a concise handoff note for the next session.
