Rootnode Session Handoff Skill for Claude
>- Produces structured markdown session continuation documents for multi-session workflows. Captures active work streams, decisions with rationale, knowledge-file deltas learned during the session, the exact files to load next conversation, ingested content, artifacts, and open items into an ingestion-optimized handoff. Carries pending KF updates and unresolved items forward across handoff chains so context never drops. Generates a closeout checklist and echoes the starter prompt to chat. Use when approaching context limits, wrapping up a session, or managing work "wrap up this session," "build session handoff," "BSH," "continue next session," "we're running out of context," "context is getting long." Do NOT use for Memory optimization, context budget analysis, project audits, deciding whether work is ready for autonomous/Claude Code execution (use rootnode-handoff-trigger-check), or summaries with no continuation intent.

How to use it
Take drayline/rootnode-session-handoff from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal
use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.
The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the
same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.
