Session handoffs for Claude Code: skills that capture decisions, failed approaches and next steps, plus a Claude Code mod (/compact-handoff) that replaces the conversation with a validated handoff and keeps going. A better /compact.

# claude-handoff: session handoffs for Claude Code

**Never lose context between AI coding sessions.** Claude Code skills and a Claude Code mod that write a structured session handoff: decisions, failed approaches, measurements, and next steps. Your next session, or the same one after compaction, picks up exactly where you left off. Stop wasting 20-40% of each session rediscovering what was already tried.

**Now a Claude Code mod:** `/compact-handoff` writes the handoff, swaps the conversation for it, and keeps working in the same terminal. No new window, no paste. [Jump to the mod ↓](#compact-handoff-mod-experimental)
