Install
Works with every agent the skills CLI supports.
npx skills add https://github.com/rohitg00/pro-workflow --skill session-handoff- 01
Install
Run the command in your project. The CLI asks which agents to install for.
- 02
Describe the task
Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads session-handoff automatically when relevant.
- 03
Review the result
The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.
SKILL.md
The instructions your agent reads when the skill is triggered.
Session Handoff
Different from wrap-up. Wrap-up is a checklist for you. Handoff is a document written for the next session.
Trigger
Use when saying "handoff", "continue later", "pass to next session", "session transfer", or ending a session and wanting to resume smoothly.
Workflow
- Gather current state from git.
- List completed, in-progress, and pending work.
- Note key decisions made and their reasoning.
- Capture any learnings from this session.
- Generate a resume command for the next session.
Commands
git status
git diff --stat
git log --oneline -5
git branch --show-current

Guardrails
- Write for the reader (next session), not the writer.
- Include specific file paths and line numbers where relevant.
- The resume command should be copy-pasteable into the next session.
- Keep it factual — describe changes functionally, don't infer motivation.
