name: handoff
description: Compact the current conversation into a handoff document for another agent to pick up.
argument-hint: "What will the next session be used for?"
---

Write a handoff document summarizing the current conversation so a fresh agent can continue the work. Save to the temporary directory of the user's OS - not the current workspace.

Include a "suggested skills" section in the document, naming which installed skills the next agent should use.

Do not duplicate content already captured in other artifacts (specs, plans, ADRs, issues, commits, diffs). Reference them by path or URL instead.

If the user passed arguments, treat them as a description of what the next session will focus on and tailor the doc accordingly.

# Sources

Read this provenance when auditing or revising Handoff, not during normal use.

The skill is substantially derived from Matt Pocock's `handoff` skill:

- Source: https://github.com/mattpocock/skills/blob/0ab1b63a410a03d3627979a109c8695de27af954/skills/productivity/handoff/SKILL.md
- Repository license: MIT
- Upstream copyright: Copyright (c) 2026 Matt Pocock

Compass keeps the upstream temporary-directory rule, suggested-skills section, artifact-reference discipline, redaction requirement, and argument-based focus. The only behavioral wording change translates Matt's Claude-style instruction to call the Skill tool into the portable requirement to name installed skills the next agent should use.
