session-handoff-prompt

Create a concise continuation prompt that a fresh agent session can paste in to resume a long or degraded session.

Do not use for ordinary summaries, task-forest maintenance, durable user-profile updates, automatic session creation, code execution, or external publishing.

# Session Handoff Prompt ## Language Policy **All output directed at the user — the continuation prompt itself, mode explanations, questions, and confirmations — must be written in the user's language.** Detect the user's language from their message.

About this skill
What does the session-handoff-prompt skill do?

Create a concise continuation prompt that a fresh agent session can paste in to resume a long or degraded session. Use when the user asks for a handoff prompt, restart prompt, continuation prompt, context transfer, fresh-session resume, or a compact summary for opening a new session. Do not use for ordinary summaries, task-forest maintenance, durable user-profile updates, automatic session creation, code execution, or external publishing.

How do I install it?

Run `npx skills add dongshuyan/compass-skills --skill session-handoff-prompt --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 dongshuyan/compass-skills, a repository with 675 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.
