About this plugin
Long projects rarely die from bad code; they die because the why, the pitfall, and the next step all live in a chat log that has already scrolled away. Open a fresh session and you are forced to re-archaeologize: what did I decide, why, and what broke last time? project-handoff inverts that pattern. It keeps a version-controlled handoff.md inside the project itself, recording current state, decisions with their rationale, and pitfalls in a strict symptom → cause → fix format, each entry date-stamped so staleness is visible at a glance. It is not a git replacement; it carries what git cannot—the reasons, the unwritten rules, the traps already paid for.
Who benefits? Anything that outlives a single sitting: multi-week iterations, handoffs between teammates, or even solo work where session two needs to pick up exactly where session one left off. A weekend script will never justify the ritual, but the moment a project spans more than one conversation, the file starts earning its keep.
Use Cases
- A new session reads handoff.md and resumes work instantly without re-archaeologizing
- In a team handoff, one file carries every rationale and known pitfall
- Across a multi-week sprint, date-stamped entries accumulate decisions to prevent context loss
Best For
- Solo developers iterating across multiple sessions
- Teams that hand off work frequently between members
- Engineers leveraging AI agents and want session-to-session continuity
