Compress conversation into a handoff document for the next agent to continue work.
What is handoff?
Creates a handoff document that summarizes the current conversation and context, enabling a fresh agent to seamlessly continue the work. Saves to the system temp directory and includes recommended skills for the next session.
- Summarizes conversation history into a structured handoff document
- Identifies and recommends relevant skills for the next agent to invoke
- References external artifacts (specs, plans, ADRs, issues, commits, diffs) by path or URL instead of duplicating content
- Strips sensitive information like API keys, passwords, and PII
- Incorporates user-provided arguments as focus points for the next session

编写一份 handoff document，总结当前对话，让 fresh agent 能继续工作。保存到用户操作系统的临时目录，不要保存到当前 workspace。
在文档中包含 "suggested skills" section，写明下一个 agent 应调用 Skill 工具并指定哪些 skills。
不要重复已经被其他 artifacts 捕获的内容（specs、plans、ADRs、issues、commits、diffs）。改用 path 或 URL 引用它们。
删去任何敏感信息，例如 API keys、passwords 或 personally identifiable information。
如果用户传入了 arguments，把它们视为下一次 session 的关注点描述，并据此调整文档。
