handoff

Compact the current conversation into a handoff document for another agent to pick up. References existing artifacts (PRDs, plans, ADRs, issues, commits, diffs) by path or URL instead of duplicating them. Use when user wants to hand off the conversation to a fresh agent or starts a new session that picks up prior work.

Quality

Content

82%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

A tight, well-structured instruction-only skill that respects token budget and points to real bundle files for detail. It would benefit from explicit inline examples and direct links to the additional reference files in the bundle.

Suggestions

Add a compact inline example of the expected handoff document structure so the next session can copy-paste rather than infer from the section list.

Link the other reference files (deduplication_discipline.md, handoff_structure.md, next_session_skill_matching.md) directly from the body or the companion_tooling reference so they are discoverable one level deep.

Add an explicit validation checkpoint (e.g., run artifact_deduplicator.py as a pre-flight check before finalizing the handoff) to close the workflow-clarity validation gap.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is lean (~25 lines), assumes Claude's competence, and never explains concepts Claude already knows (e.g., what a PRD or ADR is); every line earns its place.

5 / 5

Actionability

Concrete guidance is present (the mktemp path pattern with 'read the file before you write to it' and an explicit section list, plus real referenced scripts), but as an instruction-only skill it lacks inline copy-paste-ready examples covering common cases.

4 / 5

Workflow Clarity

A clear sequence exists (write doc, save to mktemp path, suggest skills, dedupe) with a read-before-write checkpoint; minor validation gaps remain and no explicit feedback-loop checklist keeps it just below 5.

4 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

The body is an overview pointing one level deep to a real, clearly signaled reference (companion_tooling.md) and real scripts, but several other existing reference files in the bundle are not directly linked from the body, leaving a minor organization gap.

Description

87%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

A well-crafted description that explicitly states both capability and trigger conditions in third person. Concrete actions and natural trigger phrases make it low-conflict and easy to match.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Names the handoff domain and several concrete actions (compact the conversation, reference artifacts by path/URL, avoid duplicating, tailor to next-session focus), but the action list is not as comprehensive as a 5-anchor multi-action enumeration.

4 / 5

Completeness

Clearly answers 'what' (compact conversation into a handoff document referencing existing artifacts) and 'when' via an explicit 'Use when...' clause with concrete trigger conditions.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Natural phrases like 'hand off the conversation', 'fresh agent', 'new session', and 'picks up prior work' are present, but a few common synonyms/variations are missing.

4 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Occupies a clear niche (conversation compaction / session handoff) with distinct triggers and minimal overlap risk with other skills; written in third person.
