Create a compact handoff summary that preserves continuity across AI coding agents.
Goal
Capture only the minimum high-value context necessary for the next agent to continue work safely and quickly.
Required references
Use these docs as source-of-truth and link, don’t duplicate:
Constraints
- Keep output concise, actionable, and low-noise.
- Prioritize Tier 1 (critical) context first, then Tier 2.
- Exclude stale, duplicated, or speculative details.
- Prefer summarized decisions and diffs over raw logs.
- Preserve subsystem boundary language from
README.md.
Output format
Return exactly these sections:
- Current objective
- State snapshot (what is done / in progress / blocked)
- Key decisions & constraints
- Files changed / touched
- Open risks & unknowns
- Next 3 actions
- Optional references (repo links only)
Length targets
- Target: 150-350 words
- Hard ceiling: 500 words unless user explicitly requests more detail
If critical information is missing, add a short "Missing context" note under Open risks & unknowns.
