claude-session-handoff
A Claude Code skill that captures your session into a structured document — useful for carrying context between sessions, sharing progress with your team, or keeping a personal development log.
What it does
Run /session-handoff at the end of any Claude Code session. It will:
- Summarize what was worked on, decisions made, and files changed
- Record the current state of the project (builds? tests pass? deployed?)
- List blockers and next steps
- Write a
handoffs/YYYY-MM-DD.mdfile in your project root
Use cases
Session continuity — Resume exactly where you left off. No more re-explaining context to Claude at the start of a new session.
End-of-day reports — Share a clean, structured summary of what you shipped with your manager, team lead, or client. The output is human-readable and requires no editing.
Progress tracking — Build up a running log of handoffs/ files over time. Flip back through them to see how a feature evolved, audit decisions, or write a retrospective.
Async team handoffs — Passing work to a colleague? The handoff doc covers state, blockers, and next steps so they can pick up without a sync call.
Installation
Via npm (recommended):
npm install -g @samarthpatel/claude-skill-session-handoffVia npx (no install needed):

Usage
In any Claude Code session, type:
/session-handoffClaude will gather context from the session, write a structured handoff doc to ./handoffs/YYYY-MM-DD.md, and print it to the terminal.
Example Output
See examples/sample-handoff.md for a realistic example of what a handoff document looks like.
Works with
- claude-historian (optional) — if installed, enriches the handoff with deeper session history search
- nightly-digest (optional) — if you use nightly-digest, session-handoff will offer to copy summaries to
~/.claude/daily-summaries/for automatic progress report generation
