What is a Claude Code session handoff?

A session handoff is the process of transferring current project state, technical decisions, and progress from one terminal session to another, ensuring the AI model has full continuity.

Can Claude infer the subject of the handoff automatically?

Yes, if you don't provide a subject argument, the skill will analyze the recent conversation to determine the most relevant name for the context file.

Where are the context handoff files stored?

By default, files are stored in an ephemeral directory at /tmp/claude-ctx/, though you can specify a custom path as an optional argument.

When should I use the 'sibling' direction?

Use 'sibling' when you are working on parallel tasks in two different terminal windows and need to sync state between them without a hierarchical parent/child relationship.

Does Context Send work with Git?

Yes, it automatically captures your current Git branch, the latest commit hash, and a summary of modified files to provide the receiving session with full version control awareness.

Productivity & Workflow

Facilitates seamless context handoff between Claude Code sessions by capturing project state and progress into structured markdown files.

About

Context Send is a workflow optimization tool for Claude Code designed to solve the 'context loss' problem when switching between different work sessions. It automatically captures vital project metadata—including Git status, branch info, and directory state—and combines it with human-readable summaries of decisions made, work completed, and remaining blockers. Whether you are spawning a child session for a specific sub-task or returning to a parent session after implementation, this skill ensures that the AI maintains a perfect memory of the project's current status and next steps.
