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"
