What it does

Session Handoff is an agent skill from rohitg00/pro-workflow. Generate a structured handoff document capturing current progress, open tasks, key decisions, and context needed to resume work. Use when ending a session, saying "continue later", "save progress", "session summary", or "pick up where I left off".

Its SKILL.md is about 530 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Session handoff. The repository describes itself as: Claude Code learns from your corrections: self-correcting memory that compounds over 50+ sessions. Context engineering, parallel worktrees, agent teams, and 17 battle-tested…

When your agent uses it

  • Ending a session
  • Saying continue later
  • Session summary
  • Pick up where I left off

Example prompts

  • “continue later”
  • “save progress”
  • “session summary”
  • “/session-handoff”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Gather current state from git.
  2. List completed, in-progress, and pending work.
  3. Note key decisions made and their reasoning.
  4. Capture any learnings from this session.
  5. Generate a resume command for the next session.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 86d5f27. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • git

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Session Handoff loads about 529 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 66 tokens; SKILL.md has 120 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~66
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~529

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 120 words (~529 tokens).

“Different from wrap-up. Wrap-up is a checklist for you. Handoff is a document written for the next session.”
