context-handoff

Author a paste-ready, self-contained brief that hands work to a fresh context — a new Claude Code session, a spawned task, a teammate, or an issue ticket. Use whenever current work must be packaged so a receiver with zero shared context can take it cold — "package this up for a fresh session", "bundle this for another agent", "write a standalone brief / a self-contained handoff", "spin this off", "hand this off", "offload this", "branch off", "new session for this", "author a persisted backlog / worklist doc for a future session", "subtask", "fork", "spinoff" — when curating a context slice to continue or delegate work elsewhere, or running "/context-handoff". Three modes — SUBTASK (bounded brief, an artifact comes back), FORK (continues independently, nothing returns), and BACKLOG (a persisted repo doc a future session opens to pick up any item). For in-session parallel work where results flow back automatically, prefer the Task tool / subagents — this skill is for handoffs that cross a boundary the harness won't bridge (a fresh session, a human, a ticket).
