session-handoff-prompt
Create a concise continuation prompt that a fresh agent session can paste in to resume a long or degraded session. Use when the user asks for a handoff prompt, restart prompt, continuation prompt, context transfer, fresh-session resume, or a compact summary for opening a new session. Do not use for ordinary summaries, task-forest maintenance, durable user-profile updates, automatic session creation, code execution, or external publishing.

How to install
Skill (folder)A Skill is a folder with a SKILL.md file that gives Claude extra instructions for a task.
Claude Code (project or global):
# per-project mkdir -p .claude/skills/session-handoff-prompt # ...or for all projects mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/session-handoff-prompt # copy SKILL.md and any supporting files into that folder
Claude.ai / Claude Desktop:
Customize → Skills → “+” → Browse skills → Install. (Installed skills are view-only; download a copy to customise.)
