.claude/skills/handoff-context/# Handoff Context Generates structured context summaries for seamless thread continuation. ## Quick Start **Direct invocation (most reliable):** ```bash /handoff-context ``` **Natural language trigger phrases:** - "Handoff and [action]" → continuation workflow - "Handoff to [agent/skill]" → targeted handoff - "Start a new thread with this" → explicit continuation - "Let's handoff" / "Lets handoff" / "Just handoff" → context preservation **Note:** The slash command works reliably across all agents. Natural language triggers depend on each agent's semantic understanding. ## Configuration ### Config File Locations The handoff-context skill looks for configuration in the following order (highest to lowest priority): | Priority | Location | Scope | Use Case | |----------|----------|-------|----------| | 1 | `~/.config/agents/handoff-context-config.yml` | Cross-tool | Amp, other AI tools | | 2 | `~/.claude/handoff-context-config.yml` | Claude Code | Claude Code specific | | 3 | `.agents/handoff-context-config.yml` | Project-local | Per-project overrides | | 4 | Built-in defaults | Fallback | Ships with plugin | ### Quick Setup Copy the example config to your preferred location: ```bash # Cross-tool location (recommended for multi-tool users) mkdir -p ~/.config/agents cp ~/.claude/plugins/base/skills/handoff-context/handoff-context-config.example.yml \ ~/.config/agents/handoff-context-config.yml # Claude Code specific cp ~/.claude/plugins/base/skills/handoff-context/handoff-context-config.example.yml \ ~/.claude/handoff-context-config.yml # Project-local mkdir -p .agents cp ~/.claude/plugins/base/skills/handoff-context/handoff-context-config.example.yml \ .agents/handoff-context-config.yml ``` ### Configuration Options | Option | Type | Default | Description | |--------|------|---------|-------------| | `format` | string | `yaml` | Output format: `yaml` or `markdown` | | `include.learnings` | boolean | `true` | Include learnings section | | `includ
