Handoff

When you're deep in a coding session and Claude's context window is getting cramped, this skill lets you hand off to a fresh instance without losing your work context. It's from steveyegge's beads collection and does exactly what the name suggests: saves your current state and cycles to a new Claude session. You'd use it when you hit token limits, finish a logical chunk of work, or just need fresh eyes on a problem. The syntax is simple, just /handoff with an optional message. It failed one security audit (Gen Agent Trust Hub) but passed Socket and Snyk, so check the details if that matters for your setup. Honestly, it's one of those utilities that sounds niche until you need it, then it's indispensable.
