Handover Skill

Context-aware handover management: resume previous work or create a handover for the next session.

Mode Detection

Determine mode based on conversation state:

| Conversation State | Mode | Action | |-------------------|------|--------| | Empty or minimal (just /handover) | Process | Read reference/process-mode.md | | Progress has been made | Create | Read reference/create-mode.md |

Process Mode

Resume from latest incomplete handover. Uses Haiku subagents to cascade through completed handovers.

Critical: Process mode handles ONE handover per session. After finding incomplete work, STOP cascading and begin implementation.

See:

• reference/process-mode.md - Cascade workflow and Haiku subagent prompt
• reference/human-decision-workflow.md - MANDATORY when handover requires human decisions with subagent recommendations (counter-recommend, executive summaries)

Create Mode

Generate handover from conversation for the next session.

Arguments:

• file - Write to file only, suppress chat output
• chat - Output to chat only, skip file creation
• (none) - Both file and chat (default)

See: reference/create-mode.md for full workflow including:

• Pre-creation analysis (task separation, dependencies)
• Dependency blocking instructions
• Output format template
• File numbering rules
