handoff
Compact the current conversation into a handoff document for another agent to pick up. Save to a user-configured location (OS temp, home folder, or per-project .handoff/), redact secrets before write, suggest skills for the next session, and auto-load the latest handoff on the next SessionStart. First-run setup asks where to save so the project folder never gets cluttered. Use when the user says 'hand this off', 'handoff doc', 'summarize this for a new session', 'compact this conversation', 'I'm ending this session', 'pick this up later', or any variation signaling intent to pass work to a fresh agent. Also trigger on implicit signals: the user announcing they're switching machines, ending the day mid-task, or context is growing long without a natural stopping point.

Frequently asked questions about handoff
What does the handoff skill do?
Compact the current conversation into a handoff document for another agent to pick up. Save to a user-configured location (OS temp, home folder, or per-project .handoff/), redact secrets before write, suggest skills for the next session, and auto-load the latest handoff on the next SessionStart. First-run setup asks where to save so the project folder never gets cluttered. Use when the user says 'hand this off', 'handoff doc', 'summarize this for a new session', 'compact this conversation', 'I'm ending this session', 'pick this up later', or any variation signaling intent to pass work to a fresh agent. Also trigger on implicit signals: the user announcing they're switching machines, ending the day mid-task, or context is growing long without a natural stopping point. It's a reusable SKILL.md instruction set that loads into your AI coding assistant on demand, no prompt engineering, no copy-pasting every session.
How do I install the handoff skill?
Run `npx @skills-hub-ai/cli install alirezarezvani-handoff` from your terminal. The CLI writes the SKILL.md to the correct location for your AI tool (e.g. ~/.claude/skills/alirezarezvani-handoff/ for Claude Code or ~/.cursor/skills/ for Cursor with --target cursor) and adds it to your project's .skills.json lockfile.
Which AI tools does handoff work with?
handoff runs in Claude Code. It follows the open Agent Skills standard (SKILL.md), so the same skill works in every supported tool without modification.
Is the handoff skill free?
Yes. Every skill on skills-hub.ai is free and open-source. There are no premium tiers, paywalls, or usage limits. You only pay for whatever AI assistant you're already using.
How do I use handoff after installing it?
In Claude Code, type `/alirezarezvani-handoff` (or whatever slash command the skill registers) and the AI follows the skill's instructions immediately. You can also reference it by name in natural language, your AI loads the skill into context when relevant.
Can I share the handoff skill with my team?
Yes. Commit your project's .skills.json lockfile and teammates run `npx @skills-hub-ai/cli install` (no args) to install every skill at the exact version you pinned. Organization-scoped installs work via skills-hub.ai organizations.
