LesaniSkillwriting-beats
Shape an article as a journey of beats, choose-your-own-adventure style. The user picks a starting beat from the raw material, you write only that beat, then offer options for where to pivot next, beat by beat, until the article reaches a natural end. Use when the user has raw material and wants to assemble it as a narrative rather than an argument.

How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.

The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
8 rules. 0 are common, 7 are distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 172 edited versions we read keep these.
7
Distinctive
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
1
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Distinctive: line 11
Write a handoff document summarizing the current conversation so a fresh agent can continue the work.
- Very specific: line 26
Use a clear filename like handoff-YYYYMMDD-HHMM.md, then report the saved path to the user.
- Distinctive: line 41
Do not duplicate content already captured in other artifacts such as PRDs, plans, ADRs, issues, commits, or diffs.
- Distinctive: line 45
If the user passed arguments, treat them as the next-session focus and tailor the document accordingly.
- Distinctive: line 49
After successfully saving the handoff, reply with exactly:
- Distinctive: line 64
Do not save the handoff inside the current repository.
- Distinctive: line 65
Do not include secrets or raw private data.
- Distinctive: line 66
Do not omit the final saved path.
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 172 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.
Files
Handoff
Overview
Write a handoff document summarizing the current conversation so a fresh agent can continue the work. Save it to the user's OS temporary directory, not the current workspace.
When to Use
- User asks for a handoff, session summary, context compact, continuation note, or next-agent instructions
- User says "生成交接文档", "交接文档", "压缩上下文", "给下个 agent", "下一轮继续", or "接着做"
- User passes arguments describing what the next session should focus on
Output Location
Save the document outside the workspace using the OS temp directory:
- macOS/Linux: use
$TMPDIRwhen set, otherwise/tmp - Windows: use
%TEMP%
Use a clear filename like handoff-YYYYMMDD-HHMM.md, then report the saved path to the user.
Required Sections
- Objective and requested next-session focus
- Current status and completed work
- Pending work and next recommended steps
- Files touched or artifacts to inspect
- Commands, tests, or checks already run
- Known failures, risks, and constraints
- User preferences and project rules that matter
- Suggested skills with reasons
Constraints
Do not duplicate content already captured in other artifacts such as PRDs, plans, ADRs, issues, commits, or diffs. Reference them by path or URL and summarize only the current status needed to continue.
Redact sensitive information, including API keys, passwords, tokens, credentials, private keys, secrets, and personally identifiable information.
If the user passed arguments, treat them as the next-session focus and tailor the document accordingly.
Final Response
After successfully saving the handoff, reply with exactly:
- One brief confirmation in the user's language.
- A fenced
textcode block containing only the absolute saved path.
Example:
/tmp/handoff-20260715-1713.mdThe code block is the copyable file information. Keep labels, bullets, and other metadata outside it.
Common Mistakes
- Do not save the handoff inside the current repository.
- Do not include secrets or raw private data.
- Do not omit the final saved path.
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.
- It worked
- Partly
- It didn't
Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
