Write a handoff document summarizing the objective plus the next-session focus.

Write handoffs into `.handoffs/` at the project root.

When this handoff is one link in a sequence, capture the whole workstream: overarching goal, full task list with done / current / remaining status, and every decision, convention, or constraint agreed up front that binds all tasks. That is carry-forward context and it must survive the entire chain.

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.
