Compress session state to a compact document. The next session picks up exactly where this one left off.

Announce: "📦 /supergraph:handoff — compacting session state..."

Steps

1. Capture current state

Gather live state — do not rely on memory:

git status --short
git log --oneline -10

Read active plan file (if any) from docs/supergraph/plans/.

2. Write handoff document

Save to $TMPDIR/supergraph-handoff-<YYYY-MM-DD>.md — NOT in the workspace (avoids accidental commits).

# Supergraph Handoff — <YYYY-MM-DD>

## Goal
[One sentence: what we were trying to accomplish]

## Status
[In-progress / Blocked / Ready for next phase]

## Active Plan
Path: [docs/supergraph/plans/<slug>.md]
Current task: Task N — [description]
Remaining tasks: [list with Status values]

## What Was Done
- [Completed task summaries — brief, no code]

## What Is Left
- [Remaining tasks, in order]
- [Any stuck tasks and why]

## Blockers / Open Questions
- [List — or "none"]

## Key Files Changed
- [path] — [what changed, one line]

## Git State
Branch: [branch name]
Last commit: [hash] [message]
Uncommitted: [list or "none"]

## Environment Context
[Copy from plan's Environment Context section]

## Suggested Skills for Next Session
1. /supergraph:scan (always first)
2. /supergraph:execute plan <slug> (continue tasks)
   or /supergraph:tdd (if resuming single task)
3. /supergraph:fix → /supergraph:verify → /supergraph:review

## Notes
[Anything non-obvious a fresh agent needs to know]

Rules for content:

  • Reference artifacts by path or URL only — never duplicate code or file content
  • Keep the document under 150 lines
  • No session-specific context (e.g., "as I said earlier") — self-contained

3. Report handoff location

✅ /supergraph:handoff complete
- Document: $TMPDIR/supergraph-handoff-<date>.md
- Status: [current status]
- Resume: /supergraph:scan → read handoff doc → /supergraph:execute plan <slug>

Rules

  • Never save to workspace — always $TMPDIR
  • References only, no content duplication
  • Under 150 lines — force brevity
  • Always include "Suggested Skills" so the next session has a clear entry point
