Compacts the conversation into a portable document another session can pick up, written to the OS temp directory rather than the repo. It keeps the decisions and the reasoning, which is the part a diff cannot recover, and redacts anything that came out of .env or config/services.ts.

Inside the skill

The sections an agent reads once the skill loads.

  • What goes in
  • What stays out
  • Redact before you write
  • Finish
  • Before you hand off at all

Using it

This one is user-invoked. It carries no model-facing description, so it costs nothing in context and only fires when you type it:

/stacks-handoff <What will the next session be used for?>
