Full skill instructions

Context Handoff

This skill loads handoff content from a previous session that reached the context threshold.

Instructions

When this skill is invoked:

  1. Check for structured state at .claude/​claudikins-acm/​handoff-state.json
  2. Read the handoff markdown at .claude/​claudikins-acm/​handoff.md
  3. Present both to understand what was being worked on
  4. Restore todos if active todos exist in the state
  5. Continue the work from where it was left off

File Locations

FilePurpose
.claude/​claudikins-acm/​handoff-state.jsonStructured state (preferred)
.claude/​claudikins-acm/​handoff.mdHuman-readable summary

Reading the State

The structured state JSON contains:

  • context.current_objective - What was being worked on
  • context.active_todos - Pending/​in-progress todos to restore
  • context.key_files_modified - Recently changed files
  • git.branch - Git branch at handoff time
  • git.modified_files - Uncommitted changes

After Reading

  1. Restore todos using TodoWrite if active_todos has entries
  2. Summarise the previous session's state for the user
  3. Ask if they want to continue from where they left off
  4. Clean up the handoff files after successful restoration

Cleanup

After successfully restoring context, offer to clean up:

rm -f .claude/​claudikins-acm/​handoff-state.json
rm -f .claude/​claudikins-acm/​handoff.md

If No Handoff Exists

If neither file exists, inform the user:

  • No handoff is currently active
  • A handoff is created when context usage hits the threshold (default 60%)
  • They can configure the threshold via /​acm:config

Claudikins Automatic Context Manager To configure settings, use: /​acm:config
