# Handoff - Session Cycling for Gas Town Agents
|
|
|
|
Hand off your current session to a fresh Claude instance while preserving work context.
|
|
|
|
## When to Use
|
|
|
|
- Context getting full (approaching token limit)
|
|
- Finished a logical chunk of work
|
|
- Need a fresh perspective on a problem
|
|
- Human requests session cycling
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
/handoff [optional message]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## How It Works
|
|
|
|
1. If you provide a message, it's sent as handoff mail to yourself
|
|
2. `gt handoff` respawns your session with a fresh Claude
|
|
3. New session auto-primes via SessionStart hook
|
|
4. Work continues from your hook (pinned molecule persists)
|
|
|
|
## Examples
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Simple handoff (molecule persists, fresh context)
|
|
/handoff
|
|
|
|
# Handoff with context notes
|
|
/handoff "Found the bug in token refresh - check line 145 in auth.go first"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## What Persists
|
|
|
|
- **Hooked molecule**: Your work assignment stays on your hook
|
|
- **Beads state**: All issues, dependencies, progress
|
|
- **Git state**: Commits, branches, staged changes
|
|
|
|
## What Resets
|
|
|
|
- **Conversation context**: Fresh Claude instance
|
|
- **TodoWrite items**: Ephemeral, session-scoped
|
|
- **In-memory state**: Any uncommitted analysis
|
|
|
|
## Implementation
|
|
|
|
When invoked, execute:
|
|
|
|
1. If user provided a message, send handoff mail:
|
|
```bash
|
|
gt mail send <your-address> -s "HANDOFF: Session cycling" -m "<message>"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2. Run the handoff command:
|
|
```bash
|
|
gt handoff
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The new session will find your handoff mail and hooked work automatically.
