README
**Never lose context between AI coding sessions.**
Two skills for [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) that capture decisions, failed approaches, measurements, and next steps — so your next session picks up exactly where you left off. Stop wasting 20-40% of each session rediscovering what was already tried.
[](https://github.com/REMvisual/claude-handoff/releases/latest)
Install
git clone https://github.com/REMvisual/claude-handoff.git
cp -r claude-handoff/skills/handoff ~/.claude/skills/
cp -r claude-handoff/skills/handoffplan ~/.claude/skills/
Verify: type `/handoff` in Claude Code — it should appear in autocomplete.
Usage
/handoff # Capture session context — next session explores
/handoffplan # Capture context + write a plan — next session executes
No arguments needed. The skill mines your full conversation, gathers git state, validates the output, and gives you a ready-to-paste resume prompt:
Read `plans/handoffs/HANDOFF_fix-auth-bug_2026-03-19.md` (seq 2, PROJ-abc1)
and continue from "Where We're Going".
Paste that into a fresh Claude Code session. It picks up the chain and starts working.
What you get
Every handoff captures a structured snapshot of your session:
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ HANDOFF_fix-auth-bug_2026-03-19.md │
├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ The Goal — what we're solving and why │
│ Where We Are — 15-25 bullets of current state│
│ What We Tried — every approach, chronological │
│ Key Decisions — what was chosen AND rejected │
│ Evidence & Data — real numbers, not summaries │
│ User Feedback — preferences, corrections, tone│
│ Where We're Going — ordered next steps │
│ Quick Start — exact commands for next session│
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
