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.
