session-handoff
Write a handoff summary so another agent or person (or a fresh session) can pick up the work with full context. Use when ending a work session, hitting a context limit, switching agents, or pausing a task mid-flight. Produces a structured handoff: what the goal is, what's done, the current state, what's next, and the gotchas — so no context is lost across the boundary.

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.

# Session Handoff Skill Work gets dropped at boundaries — a context window fills, a session ends, a task passes to someone else — and the next person (or agent) re-derives everything from scratch. This skill writes a tight **handoff** that carries the state across that boundary: the goal, what's done, where things stand, the exact next step, and the landmines. Optimised to be the first thing a fresh session reads. ## Required Inputs Ask for these only if they aren't already provided (or infer from the session so far): - **The objective** — what we're ultimately trying to achieve. - **Progress** — what's been done and decided so far. - **Current state** — what's in-flight right now, what's working/broken, where files/branches are. - **Next step** — the single most important thing to do next. - **Gotchas** — dead ends tried, constraints, things that will bite the next person. ## Output Format ### Handoff: [task] **🎯 Objective** — the goal in 1–2 lines, and the definition of done. **✅ Done so far** — key work completed and decisions made (with the *why* for non-obvious calls), as tight bullets. **📍 Current state** — exactly where things stand: branch/PR, what runs, what's failing, f

Where does this skill come from?
From mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills, a repository with 1,255 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.
