Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Continuity Ledger > **Note:** This skill is now an alias for `/create_handoff`. Both output the same YAML format. Create a YAML handoff document for state preservation across `/clear`. This is the same as `/create_handoff`. ## Process ### 1. Filepath & Metadata **First, determine the session name from existing handoffs:** ```bash ls -td thoughts/shared/handoffs/*/ 2>/dev/null | head -1 | xargs basename ``` This returns the most recently modified handoff folder name (e.g., `open-source-release`). Use this as the handoff folder name. If no handoffs exist, use `general` as the folder name. **Create your file under:** `thoughts/shared/handoffs/{session-name}/YYYY-MM-DD_HH-MM_description.yaml`, where: - `{session-name}` is from existing handoffs (e.g., `open-source-release`) or `general` if none exist - `YYYY-MM-DD` is today's date - `HH-MM` is the current time in 24-hour format (no seconds needed) - `description` is a brief kebab-case description **Examples:** - `thoughts/shared/handoffs/open-source-release/2026-01-08_16-30_memory-system-fix.yaml` - `thoughts/shared/handoffs/general/2026-01-08_16-30_bug-investigation.yaml` ### 2.

Create or update continuity ledger for state preservation across clears
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add parcadei/Continuous-Claude-v3 --skill continuity_ledger --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From parcadei/Continuous-Claude-v3, a repository with 3,879 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
