    Install

    Add it to your agent

    One file, no build step. Pick the agent you use; the command drops the SKILL.md where that agent looks for skills.

    The `skills` CLI reads this repo's /skills folder and installs into every agent it detects. Pick the skill from the list it shows.

    Terminal
    npx skills add mattpocock/skills --skill handoff

    Write a handoff document summarising 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 skills the next agent should call the Skill tool for.

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

    Redact any sensitive information, such as API keys, passwords, or personally identifiable information.

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

    This skill ships 2 files (SKILL.md, agents). The skills CLI installs all of them from the source repo.
