What is a handoff package?

A handoff package is a structured JSON file containing the current state, progress metrics, key decisions, and next steps of a development session.

Can I use this with other session management tools?

Yes, it is designed to integrate with tools like ac-session-manager and ac-state-tracker for a complete session lifecycle management workflow.

When should I run the handoff creator?

You should use it whenever you are ending a session, preparing for a break, or reaching a point where you need to save the current progress for a future resume.

How does this skill prevent context loss?

It explicitly documents 'why' decisions were made and 'what' is currently blocked, providing the AI with metadata that isn't always obvious from the code alone.
