The eight-item checklist
Objective, state, key files, decisions, command results, remaining tasks, risks, and version state. An empty category says "None" — it is never omitted.

WORKFLOW 05 / 05
Handoff
Capture the minimum durable context another session needs.
How it runs
- 01Gather the facts
Re-read version-control status, the diff, authoritative docs, and the latest verification output. Nothing is recalled from memory.
- 02Produce the handoff
Objective, current state, key files, decisions, command results, remaining tasks, risks, and version state — all eight items, no omissions.
Key mechanisms
Facts, not transcripts
Conclusions and their reasons are recorded; documents and test output are referenced. The conversation is never copied wholesale.
No silent files
A file is written only when you give an explicit path; otherwise the handoff is returned directly in the reply.
