Handoff Document Generator

Create a summary document for the next agent to continue your work seamlessly.

Installation

  1. Make sure Claude is on your device and in your terminal.

    Skills load from ~/.claude/skills/ when Claude Code starts up — so you need it on your machine first. If you don't have it yet, install it once with the command below, then run claude in any terminal to verify.

    One-time setup
    npm i -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code

    Already have it? Skip ahead.

  2. Paste into Claude Code or into your terminal.

    This copies the whole skill folder into ~/.claude/skills/handoff-feiskyer/ — the SKILL.md plus any scripts, reference docs, or templates the skill ships with. Safe default: works for every skill.

    Faster alternative (instruction-only skills)

    Skips the clone and grabs only the SKILL.md file. Don't use this if the skill ships Python scripts, reference markdowns, or asset templates — they won't be downloaded and the skill will fail when it tries to load them.

    Quick install (SKILL.md only)
    Sign up to copy
  3. Restart Claude Code.

    Quit and reopen Claude Code (or any other agent that loads from ~/.claude/skills/). New skills are picked up on startup.

  4. Just ask Claude.

    Skills auto-activate when your request matches the skill's description — no slash command needed. Trigger phrases live in the skill's own frontmatter; you can read them in the “What this skill does” section above.

Prefer to read the source first? Open on GitHub.

When Claude uses it

Use when wrapping up a session — compresses the current conversation into a handoff document so the next agent can pick up the work exactly where you left off. Invoke manually with /handoff.

What this skill does

This skill creates a handoff document that summarizes your current conversation and project state, enabling the next agent to continue work seamlessly without losing context.

What it does

  • Generates a structured handoff document saved to $TMPDIR/handoff-YYYY-MM-DD-HHMM.md with a timestamped filename
  • Organizes information into six key sections: Background & Objectives, Completed Work, Current Status, Next Steps, Recommended Skills, and Key Context
  • References existing artifacts (specs, plans, ADRs, issues, commits, diffs) by path or URL instead of duplicating content
  • Strips sensitive data such as API keys, passwords, and personal information before saving
  • Adapts document focus based on user-provided parameters for the next session
  • Alerts the user if the conversation is too brief (fewer than 3 substantive exchanges) unless they explicitly request the document anyway

How to use it

Invoke the skill manually with /handoff when you're ready to wrap up a session. The skill compresses your current conversation into a structured summary document. You can optionally pass parameters to highlight specific priorities for the next agent. Once generated, the skill provides you with the complete file path where the handoff document has been saved.

Note: this skill's internal instructions are written in Chinese. Claude reads them natively and will work with you in English.
