Handoff
Step 1: Determine intent
| User said | Action |
| :--------------------------------------------------- | :----------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| "read/load/open the handoff" or "here's the handoff" | Read ./handoff.md, summarize it, and stop. Do NOT generate. |
| "update the handoff" | Read ./handoff.md first, then update it in place. |
| /handoff invoked or "make/write/create a handoff" | Generate or overwrite ./handoff.md. Proceed below. |
| Ambiguous | Default to generating. If the user wanted to read it, they would say so. |
Step 2: Generate
Gather context: run tk ls, git log --oneline -20, note any active jb jobs.
Write ./handoff.md — this is the primary deliverable. If context runs out mid-way, the next agent still has a usable doc:
- Status — What was achieved this session
- Context — Key files changed, patterns introduced, bugs fixed
- Decisions — Context → Decision → Rationale for any architectural choices
- Next Steps — 2-4 atomic, actionable bullets for the incoming agent
- Environment — Active background jobs, env vars, or other relevant session state
Lifecycle
handoff.md is a temporary baton—not a permanent artifact. Do NOT commit it unless explicitly asked.
Anti-patterns
| Mistake | Correction |
| :---------------------------------------------- | :-------------------------------------------------- |
| Generating a new handoff when asked to read one | Read the file; do not regenerate |
| Committing handoff.md | Ephemeral by design—only commit if explicitly asked |
