Can I use this for parallel processing?

Yes, you can use the handoff skill to spawn a sub-task into a new session for a parallel agent to handle while you continue working in your primary session.

Why should I use this instead of starting a new session manually?

This skill automates the gathering and summarization of your current progress, ensuring the next session has immediate, actionable context without the need for manual copy-pasting.

How long is the handoff context saved?

The handoff data and unique IDs are persisted for up to 7 days, giving you ample time to reference or resume the session.

How do I access the new session created by this skill?

You can access the new session by launching the agent-deck TUI and selecting the session name or handoff ID provided in the tool output.

Does this skill require claude-mem to function?

While it works best with claude-mem for synthesized summaries, it is designed to fall back to rolling checkpoint data if claude-mem is unavailable.

生产力与工作流

Facilitates seamless session transitions by spawning continuation sessions with inline context and task summaries.

关于

The Session Context Handoff skill enables users to exit a Claude Code session while immediately spawning a fresh continuation session in agent-deck, preserving critical context and task progress. It effectively manages context window limits by summarizing current work and injecting it into a new environment, ensuring that the next session can start working immediately without manual re-explanation. By leveraging tools like claude-mem or rolling checkpoint data, it provides a robust way to bridge work across sessions, hand off tasks to parallel agents, or reset the AI's memory while maintaining project momentum.
