    Technical Handoff Writer

    Example session with this skill installed

    I'm leaving the team in two weeks and handing our Go ingestion service to a new engineer. It consumes from Kafka and writes to ClickHouse, deploys through Argo CD, and consumer lag spikes when ClickHouse merges run. We picked ClickHouse over Postgres in 2024 for query volume. Help me write the handoff.

    • Read your context and instructions
    • Compiled the technical handoff writer

    Handoff document for the Go ingestion service, with the facts you gave filled in and interview questions for what only you know.

    Architecture

    Kafka topic(s) -> Go consumer -> batched inserts -> ClickHouse. Deployed with Argo CD.

    ClickHouse over Postgres (2024)Analytical query volumeQuery patterns become transactional

    Known gotchas

    Consumer lag spikes during ClickHouse merges. Treat short spikes as expected; document the point where lag becomes an incident.

    Operational runbook

    Deploy: merge to the tracked branch, Argo CD syncs. Note the rollback path (revert commit or sync previous revision).

    • Lag alert: check merge activity in ClickHouse first, then consumer health.
    • Restart: confirm offsets are committed only after a successful insert.

    Tacit-knowledge interview (answer before you leave)

    1. What lag level is normal, and when do you escalate?
    2. Are inserts idempotent if a batch is retried?
    3. Which topics or tables have unusual retention or schema rules?
    4. What have you fixed by hand that is not scripted?
    5. Who upstream changes the message schema, and how do you hear about it?
    6. What would you change if you had another month?

    Next steps

    • Answer the interview questions this week
    • Walk the new engineer through one deploy and one lag alert
    • Hand over access and on-call before your last day

    About this skill

    What it does

    The Technical Handoff Writer is a specialized skill designed to extract and document "tacit knowledge"—the stuff that isn't in the README. Instead of just listing repo links, it interviews you to uncover load-bearing hacks, decision history, and the specific things that break at 2 AM. It transforms your project context into a structured transition document tailored for new hires or incoming teams.

    Why use this skill

    Standard documentation often fails because it focuses on what the code is, rather than how it behaves in the real world. This skill is better than manual prompting because it uses a structured "interview" framework to find critical gaps. It prioritizes information based on the receiver's timeline: what they need in week one versus what they need when a legacy service fails.

    Supported Outputs

    • Knowledge Transfer Docs: Integrated reports for long-term handovers.
    • Onboarding Tracks: Week-one reading paths and setup guides.
    • Operational Runbooks: "In case of emergency" guides for specific services.
    • Gap Risk Assessments: Identification of tribal knowledge that hasn't been documented yet.

    • Requires active user participation for the interview.
    • Cannot auto-generate secrets or access keys.
    • Does not scan private codebases without agent-level permissions.

    What's inside

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Traditional docs focus on the 'how' of the code; this skill focuses on 'why' and 'when,' extracting tribal knowledge like past architectural mistakes, undocumented dependencies, and manual fixes that usually only exist in a developer's head.

    The skill conducts a structured interactive interview with you or your team, using specific prompts to identify high-risk areas and legacy quirks before organizing them into professional handoff templates.

    This skill includes the core 'Tacit Knowledge' interview framework, executive summary templates, prioritized onboarding tracks, and a specialized risk audit tool to highlight single points of failure.

    It is compatible with all major LLMs (like GPT-4 and Claude 3) through standard AI agent platforms; you simply load the skill into your preferred agent environment to begin the interview process.

    No setup is required beyond installing the skill—it works immediately out of the box by initiating a conversation to gather the necessary context about your project.

    Buyers receive lifetime access to the current version, including any critical logic updates or documentation template refreshes released by the developer.
