Agent skill
handoff
Hand off to a fresh Claude session. Use when context is full, you've finished a logical chunk of work, or need a fresh perspective. Work continues from hook.

Handoff - Session Cycling for Gas Town Agents
Hand off your current session to a fresh Claude instance while preserving work context.
When to Use
- Context getting full (approaching token limit)
- Finished a logical chunk of work
- Need a fresh perspective on a problem
- Human requests session cycling
Usage
/handoff [optional message]
How It Works
- If you provide a message, it's sent as handoff mail to yourself
gt handoffrespawns your session with a fresh Claude- New session auto-primes via SessionStart hook
- Work continues from your hook (pinned molecule persists)
Examples
# Simple handoff (molecule persists, fresh context)
/handoff
# Handoff with context notes
/handoff "Found the bug in token refresh - check line 145 in auth.go first"
What Persists
- Hooked molecule: Your work assignment stays on your hook
- Beads state: All issues, dependencies, progress
- Git state: Commits, branches, staged changes
What Resets
- Conversation context: Fresh Claude instance
- TodoWrite items: Ephemeral, session-scoped
- In-memory state: Any uncommitted analysis
Implementation
When invoked, execute:
-
If user provided a message, send handoff mail:
bashgt mail send <your-address> -s "HANDOFF: Session cycling" -m "<message>" -
Run the handoff command:
bashgt handoff
The new session will find your handoff mail and hooked work automatically.

gastownhall/beads
beads
Dolt-powered issue tracker for multi-session work with dependencies and persistent memory across conversation compaction. Use when work spans sessions, has blockers, or needs context recovery after compaction. Trigger with "create task", "what's ready", "track this work", "resume after compaction". Make sure to use this skill whenever managing multi-session work, tracking dependencies, or recovering context.
