Handoffs

Handoffs are the primary way knowledge flows between people (and between sessions). When you finish a piece of work, a handoff captures what you did, what's left, and who should pick it up.

Creating a Handoff

/handoff

Egregore asks you what happened, generates a structured summary, and saves it to memory/handoffs/. It includes:

• What was done — Summary of the session's work
• What's left — Open items and next steps
• Addressed to — Who should pick this up (optional)
• Branch state — Which branches are active in which repos

Picking Up a Handoff

When you start a session and there are handoffs addressed to you, Egregore shows them. Say "I'll pick up that handoff" and it:

1. Creates a working branch
2. Checks out the branches from the handoff's repo state
3. Links the sessions in the knowledge graph

Wrapping Up

Two ways to end a session:

• /handoff — Notes for others. Structured, addressed, includes repo state.
• /wrap — Personal closure. Saves a summary for yourself.

Both record what happened. The difference is audience: /handoff is for the team, /wrap is for you.
