session-handoff
Skill0 starsChanged 3 months agoMITView on GitHub
Carries work context between AI agent clients. Reads session logs from every installed client's native store (Claude Code JSONL projects, Codex rollout JSONL, OpenCode SQLite, Gemini CLI chats), and produces a portable handoff briefing — what was asked, what was done, files touched, last state — so a session in one client can continue work started in another. Use when switching clients mid-task ("bring everything I worked on in Codex into this Claude session"), resuming after days away, or auditing what any client did recently.

SethGammonSkillascii-diagram
Generate perfectly aligned ASCII diagrams — architecture, flow, sequence, box-and-arrow. Uses a programmatic character-grid approach so alignment is guaranteed by math, not token prediction. Includes post-render verification.

SethGammonSkillresearch-fleet
Parallel research using Fleet wave mechanics. Spawns multiple scout agents, each investigating a different angle of the same question. Findings are compressed between waves. Produces a unified research brief from multiple independent perspectives.

Dizzy-TenSkillbug-diagnosis
Diagnose bugs and product issues without modifying code. Use when the user explicitly invokes $bug-diagnosis or asks for diagnosis, root-cause analysis, issue classification, or fix strategy for code bugs, failing tests, configuration/dependency problems, deployment issues, performance regressions, data anomalies, or frontend/user-experience problems described through screenshots, annotations, logs, errors, or natural-language reports. Prioritize analysis and recommendations only; do not edit files.

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
1 rule. 0 are common, 0 are distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 117 edited versions we read keep these.
0
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
- Very specific: line 28
All commands accept --json for machine-readable output.
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 117 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
Session Handoff
One machine, many agent clients, one work history. session_handoff.py reads
each client's native session store read-only and turns recent work into a
briefing the current client can consume.
Commands
python3 scripts/session_handoff.py list # recent sessions, all clients
python3 scripts/session_handoff.py list --cwd $(pwd) # only sessions about this project
python3 scripts/session_handoff.py show claude:a3f7e0b9 # one session's turns + files
python3 scripts/session_handoff.py handoff --cwd $(pwd) # markdown briefing to stdout
python3 scripts/session_handoff.py handoff --since 7 --sessions 8 --out HANDOFF.mdAll commands accept --json for machine-readable output.
Typical flow
You worked in Codex yesterday; today you open Claude Code (or any client) and ask it to continue:
handoff --cwd <project>produces the briefing: per session, the user asks, the last assistant state, and the files it touched.- Paste the briefing (or
--out HANDOFF.mdand reference the file) into the current session. - The current agent reads it and picks up where the other client stopped.
An agent running this skill should execute step 1 itself and ingest the output directly instead of asking the user to paste it.
Session stores read (read-only, local, nothing uploaded)
| Client | Store | Format |
| Claude Code | ~/.claude/projects/<slug>/*.jsonl | JSONL events (user/assistant/tool_use) |
| Codex | ~/.codex/sessions/**/rollout-*.jsonl | JSONL (session_meta, response_item) |
| OpenCode / OMO | ~/.local/share/opencode/opencode.db | SQLite (session, message, part) |
| Gemini CLI | ~/.gemini/tmp/<hash>/chats/*.json | JSON chat logs |
Missing stores are skipped silently. Command/hook noise (slash-command wrappers, task notifications, skill-load banners) is filtered so the briefing holds real work, not harness chatter.
Semantics
--cwdmatches sessions whose working directory is the target or inside it (never a parent — a session about~is not a session about your project).show <provider>:<id-prefix>resolves any unambiguous id prefix.- The OpenCode reader also covers OMO/Senpi sessions (same store).
- Older sessions: raise
--since(days);listsearches up to a year forshowresolution.
Does it work?

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.
