handoff

Prepare a clean cross-session handoff so the next agent (or you tomorrow) can pick up exactly where you left off. Writes a focused `continue.md` in the active slice directory and ensures `STATE.md` + summary artifacts are current. Use when asked to "hand off", "prepare handoff", "pause work", "bookmark this", "I'll come back to this later", before running out of context budget, or at the end of a long session with unfinished work. Closes the v1 `/gsd-pause-work` parity gap.

Quality

Content

100%

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

An exemplary instruction-only skill body: tight, concrete, with a sequenced workflow, an explicit validation checkpoint, and clean section organization. Nothing materially weak across any dimension.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

Lean and assumes Claude's competence throughout — it never explains concepts Claude already knows and every section (objective, core principle, process, anti-patterns, success criteria) earns its place without padding.

3 / 3

Actionability

Gives concrete, executable guidance: exact paths (`.gsd/milestones/<MID>/slices/<SID>/continue.md`), specific tools (`gsd_task_complete`, `gsd_*`), and a copy-paste-ready continue.md template with worked examples for each section.

3 / 3

Workflow Clarity

Five clearly sequenced steps with an explicit validation checkpoint in Step 4 (cold-read STATE.md + continue.md + latest summary; fix if any answer is "no") and a success-criteria checklist closing the loop.

3 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

Self-contained with no bundle files; content is organized into well-signaled XML-tagged sections (objective, context, core_principle, process, anti_patterns, success_criteria) with no nested or multi-level references.

Description

90%

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 strong, trigger-rich description that answers both what and when with concrete actions and a distinct GSD-specific niche. The only blemish is a second-person aside that violates the third-person voice convention.

Suggestions

Remove or rephrase the second-person aside "(or you tomorrow)" to keep the description in third-person voice, e.g. "so the next agent (or a future session) can pick up exactly where you left off" -> "so the next agent or a future session can pick up exactly where work stopped".

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Names multiple concrete actions ("Writes a focused `continue.md` in the active slice directory and ensures `STATE.md` + summary artifacts are current"), which would anchor at 3, but the second-person aside "(or you tomorrow)" triggers the rubric's voice penalty, reducing the score by one.

2 / 3

Completeness

Clearly states what it does (writes continue.md, refreshes STATE.md and summaries) and when to use it via an explicit "Use when..." clause listing multiple triggers.

3 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

Strong natural coverage with phrases a user would actually say: "hand off", "prepare handoff", "pause work", "bookmark this", "I'll come back to this later", plus context-budget and end-of-session cues.

3 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Occupies a clear niche (cross-session GSD handoff) and ties to a specific parity gap ("Closes the v1 `/gsd-pause-work` parity gap"), making it unlikely to trigger for the wrong skill.
