Instructions

# 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

```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

cp ~/.claude/plugins/base/skills/handoff-context/handoff-context-config.example.yml \
