Generate structured handoff documents for context transfer across AI session boundaries.
Use this skill when you need to:
- Preserve session context before starting a new conversation
- Transfer decisions, objectives, and resources to the next session
- Prevent the next session from re-debating settled questions
Tell your AI agent: "Generate a session handoff" or "Wrap up this session with a handoff".

- Output as markdown code block for copy-paste only
- Human-mediated context transfer (not A2A)
- Distill signal from the session rather than transcribing
- User reviews and approves before copying to next session
