> Packaging note (2026-09-24): This skill is part of Design Engineering Toolkit. Apply its guidance within the current user request and project conventions. Style presets are alternatives; choose the one matching the brief. Tool names refer to capabilities that must actually be available; this package does not install external services or grant authorization for external actions.


Write a handoff document summarising the current conversation so a fresh agent can continue the work. Save to the temporary directory of the user's OS - not the current workspace.

Include a "suggested skills" section in the document, naming which skills the next agent should call the Skill tool for.

Do not duplicate content already captured in other artifacts (specs, plans, ADRs, issues, commits, diffs). Reference them by path or URL instead.

Redact any sensitive information, such as API keys, passwords, or personally identifiable information.

If the user passed arguments, treat them as a description of what the next session will focus on and tailor the doc accordingly.
