How do I resume work from a handoff file?

Start a new session and tell Claude to 'Resume from this handoff' by providing the file path or pasting the content to immediately re-establish project context.

Does it track specific code changes?

Yes, it specifically identifies modified files, key code snippets, and the intent behind changes to ensure the reasoning isn't lost over time.

Where are handoff documents stored?

By default, the skill saves structured Markdown files to the .claude/handoffs/ directory within your project for easy versioning and reference.

What is the Session Handoff skill?

It is a specialized capability for Claude Code that creates a detailed report of your current work session to help you or another AI instance resume the task later without losing context.

When should I use this skill?

Use it whenever you finish a coding session, take a break, or switch contexts to ensure all decisions, code changes, and next steps are clearly documented.
