# Context Handoff This skill loads handoff content from a previous session that reached the context threshold. ## Instructions When this skill is invoked: 1. **Check for structured state** at `.claude/claudikins-acm/handoff-state.json` 2. **Read the handoff markdown** at `.claude/claudikins-acm/handoff.md` 3. **Present both** to understand what was being worked on 4. **Restore todos** if active todos exist in the state 5. **Continue the work** from where it was left off ## File Locations | File | Purpose | | ------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------- | | `.claude/claudikins-acm/handoff-state.json` | Structured state (preferred) | | `.claude/claudikins-acm/handoff.md` | Human-readable summary | ## Reading the State The structured state JSON contains: - `context.current_objective` - What was being worked on - `context.active_todos` - Pending/in-progress todos to restore - `context.key_files_modified` - Recently changed files - `git.branch` - Git branch at handoff time - `git.modified_files` - Uncommitted changes ## After Reading 1. **Restore todos** using TodoWrite if `active_todos` has entries 2. **Summarise** the previous session's state for the user 3. **Ask** if they want to continue from where they left off 4. **Clean up** the handoff files after successful restoration ## Cleanup After successfully restoring context, offer to clean up: ```bash rm -f .claude/claudikins-acm/handoff-state.json rm -f .claude/claudikins-acm/handoff.md ``` ## If No Handoff Exists If neither file exists, inform the user: - No handoff is currently active - A handoff is created when context usage hits the threshold (default 60%) - They can configure the threshold via /acm:config --- _Claudikins Automatic Context Manager_ _To configure settings, use: /acm:config_
