    HandoffPilot

    by JustHandled Labs

    Save a coding agent's full working state to a handoff file before it hits the context limit, then resume in a fresh session without re-explaining everything. Captures the active plan, git branch, uncommitted changes, decisions, blockers, and next steps, so Claude Code or Codex picks up exactly where it stopped instead of starting cold.

    Sample output

    Handoff Resumed:

    • Goal: Refactor Auth Middleware
    • Status: 4/5 tasks done (Branch: feat/jwt-fix)

    WARNING: Current branch is 'main', but handoff was 'feat/jwt-fix'. Continue where we left off?

    About This Skill

    HandoffPilot is a $19 Claude Code and Codex skill for developers who lose momentum when an agent session fills its context window, hits a limit, or needs to restart. Instead of asking the model to "summarize what happened," HandoffPilot creates a structured handoff file in `.claude/handoffs/` with the details the next session needs: active plan, git branch, uncommitted changes, recent commits, decisions made, failed attempts, blockers, open questions, and a next-steps checklist. On resume, the agent reads only the latest handoff, not your entire history, so it stays token efficient. It summarizes the state, checks for branch or worktree drift, and asks: "Continue where we left off?" Use it when you are ending a session, nearing the context limit, switching between Claude Code and Codex, or handing work to a fresh agent. The Markdown output is easy for humans to review and stable enough for agents to parse after a restart. It captures what changed, what was skipped, and what the next agent should verify first. Includes the HandoffPilot skill, reusable decision/blocker/checklist templates, a helper script for git-state capture, a sample handoff, and installation instructions. Small enough to understand in minutes, useful every day for agent-assisted development and long-running refactors.

    Use Cases

    • Capture state before hitting context window limits to avoid AI degradation.
    • Resume complex implementation plans after a weekend or tool restart.
    • Prevent agents from re-attempting failed solutions preserved in the log.
    • Transfer active task context between different AI agents or models.

    HandoffPilot needs terminal access to run read-only git commands that capture branch name, uncommitted changes, and recent commits. No git write operations are performed. File read access allows it to find the most recent handoff and scan for existing plan documents. File write access creates new handoff markdown files; it never modifies existing code or handoffs.

    Creator

    JustHandled Labs

    JustHandled Labs builds focused agent skills for the work nobody wants to do by hand. Each one is a single repeatable job done well: catching the security and data mistakes that quietly ship, keeping docs and tests honest, gating the commands an agent is about to run, sharpening writing, and handling the founder chores around launches, outreach, and brand setup. Not generic AI productivity. Specific workflows that are easy to run, review, and repeat. Maintained by H.J. Westerfield, with a background in communications, editing, project coordination, customer support, and practical AI systems. Tools for people who want useful automation without theatrical complexity.
