    🚨 Load-Bearing Hacks

    The PDF Generator: It looks like it uses a generic library, but don't update it. Version 2.1 has a memory leak we patched with a custom binary in /scripts.

    • Race Condition: The invoice_finalized event triggers before the DB write 2% of the time. We use a 500ms jitter.

    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.
