RCP-001-001-002-HANDOFF_SNAPSHOT – Interactive Session Handoff Creator

RCP-001-001-002-HANDOFF_SNAPSHOT

Creates comprehensive handoff documentation for session
continuity. This interactive recipe guides you through
creating a structured snapshot that captures session
accomplishments, current state, key decisions, unresolved
questions, and prioritized next steps. Essential for
maintaining context across multiple AI chat sessions.

The CRAFT Recipe

Q: Why do I need handoffs between AI sessions?
A: AI chat sessions don’t share memory between conversations. Handoffs create a bridge of context, ensuring each new session can pick up exactly where the last one ended, preserving your project’s momentum and decisions.
Q: When should I request a handoff?
A: Request a handoff when you see token warnings (usually around 70-90% usage), when switching between different AI models, or when ending a work session you plan to continue later.
Here is an easy prompt to use for this task:
#H->AI:: Directive ( Please analyze token usage and potential for a session handoff. )
Q: What information gets included in a handoff?
A: Handoffs capture session summaries, key decisions made, completed work, next priority steps, open questions requiring answers, and any risks or blockers identified during the session.
Q: Can I edit the handoff after it’s created?
A: Yes! The handoff is interactive – the AI will ask you to confirm next steps and open questions. You can modify, add, or remove items before the handoff is finalized.
Q: How does the new AI session use the handoff?
A: When starting a new session, include your project files with the handoff. The AI reads the most recent handoff first to understand current context, then continues work based on the documented next steps.
Q: How long should a handoff be?
A: Target 500-2000 words. Shorter handoffs may miss context;
longer ones may exceed practical limits.
Q: What if I want to skip confirmation steps?
A: You can respond “Keep all” to accept everything as-is
and proceed to final review immediately.
Q: Where do I save the completed handoff?
A: Add it to your AI-CHAT-HISTORY file in the handoff
section, replacing the Tbd placeholder for that session.
Q: Can I edit the handoff after saving?
A: Yes, you can manually edit the file anytime. The handoff
is just a structured text document.
Q: What is the PERSONA STATE section for?
A: It captures which persona was active and how it was
configured, so the next session can restore that context.
