README

Handover Skill for Claude Code

A Claude Code skill that generates comprehensive session handover documentation. It reviews the full conversation and writes a `HANDOVER.md` covering what was done, decisions made, lessons learned, and next steps, like a shift-change report for the next session (or for you when you return later).

What it does

Run it at the end of a working session and it produces a structured `HANDOVER.md` in your current directory (or the project root if you're in a git repo), capturing:

  • Context and objectives
  • Work completed, what worked, and what didn't
  • Key decisions and the reasoning behind them
  • Lessons learned and gotchas
  • Current state (working / incomplete / broken / open questions)
  • Prioritized next steps and blockers
  • A map of the important files
  • Automation opportunities spotted during the session

Install

Copy the `handover` folder into your Claude Code skills directory:

cp -R handover ~/.claude/skills/

Then invoke it in a session with any of:

  • /handover
  • "Generate a handover"
  • "Create session documentation"
  • "Document what we did"
