Documentation

Summarize conversations into handoff documents for seamless agent-to-agent transitions.

  • Compacts current conversation context into a structured document saved to the OS temp directory, enabling fresh agents to resume work without re-reading full chat history
  • Automatically suggests relevant skills the next agent should invoke based on conversation content
  • Avoids duplication by referencing existing artifacts (PRDs, plans, ADRs, issues, commits, diffs) by path or URL rather than repeating their content
  • Redacts sensitive data including API keys, passwords, and personally identifiable information before handoff
  • Tailors handoff focus based on user-provided arguments describing the next session's goals
