Skill Introduction

Overview
Compact the current conversation into a handoff document for another agent to pick up. References existing artifacts (PRDs, plans, ADRs, issues, commits, diffs) by path or URL instead of duplicating them. Use when user wants to hand off the conversation to a fresh agent or starts a new session that picks up prior work.

Core value

Turns reusable Development know-how into an installable skill, helping users complete github, community work faster.

Target users

  • Developers, testers, and maintainers who handle Development tasks in Focus Code.
  • Teams that already trust workflows or content from alirezarezvani.
  • Users who want standardized prompts, steps, or conventions instead of repeating setup work.

Best practices

  • Read the skill content first to confirm required inputs, expected outputs, and dependencies.
  • Try it on a small task before relying on it for critical work.
  • Add project-specific constraints such as coding style, target platform, test expectations, and delivery format.
  • For external sources, verify the source link, version, and recent maintenance activity.

Best use cases

  • Tasks related to github, community that need a reusable execution flow.
  • Converting a community repo, team convention, or personal workflow into day-to-day assistance.
  • Starting from a proven skill instead of writing prompts or procedures from scratch.

Limits and boundaries

  • Results depend on the quality of the original skill content and may need human correction.
  • It does not replace code review, tests, security review, or professional judgment.
  • External tools, APIs, account permissions, and local dependencies still need separate setup.

Differentiation

  • Structured around Development, making it easier to discover and reuse than loose prompt snippets.
  • Marked as GitHub, which helps users judge trust and maintenance expectations.
  • Keeps the original source link available for repository, documentation, or discussion follow-up.
  • Tagged with github, community, so it can be filtered by concrete task intent.

Handoff

Derived from Matt Pocock's handoff (MIT). Matt's no-duplication discipline preserved verbatim. Additions: tools + references + cs-* wrapper (see references/companion_tooling.md).

Write a handoff document summarising the current conversation so a fresh agent can continue the work. Save it to a path produced by mktemp -t handoff-XXXXXX.md (read the file before you write to it).

Suggest the skills to be used, if any, by the next session.

Do not duplicate content already captured in other artifacts (PRDs, 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.

Sections

  • Goal of next session (from user argument or inferred)
  • State of play (what's done, what's blocking)
  • Open decisions (what the next agent must decide)
  • Skills to use (concrete list)
  • Artifacts (paths/URLs to PRDs, plans, ADRs, issues, branches, PRs — do not duplicate)

Tooling

See references/companion_tooling.md. Tools: template + dedup + recommender. Agent: cs-handoff-author. Command: /cs:handoff.

Version: 1.0.0 Derived: Matt Pocock (MIT) + this repo's wrapper
