A cross-session handoff protocol for Claude Code and other AI agents. handoff is not a summarization tool. It's a protocol for freezing your work context, packaging it, and resuming execution — in any session, any agent, any device.v1.0.0

A developer uses handoff to pause coding mid-task during a long session, freezing the current state of debugging or feature implementation. In the next session, another developer or the same developer on a different device resumes exactly where left off, reviewing key files and executing the next action without re-explaining context.

A data analyst working on a complex dataset analysis in one session uses handoff to save the analysis state, including key decisions and constraints. Later, a colleague or the analyst on another machine resumes the work, immediately accessing critical files and next steps to continue modeling or reporting.

A content creator drafting a long-form article or video script uses handoff to freeze the writing process, capturing completed sections and pending decisions. In a subsequent session, they or a collaborator picks up from the exact point, reviewing key files and executing the next writing or editing action seamlessly.

A support agent handling a technical issue uses handoff to package the troubleshooting state when shifting sessions or escalating to a specialist. The next agent reads the handoff, understands the current task and constraints, and continues resolution without asking the customer to repeat background information.

A researcher pauses work on a paper or experiment, using handoff to save the research state, key findings, and next analysis steps. Later, a co-author or the researcher on another device resumes the work, directly accessing critical documents and proceeding with the planned actions without rehashing discussions.

Offer handoff as a cloud-based service with team management features, allowing organizations to subscribe for seamless cross-session collaboration. Revenue comes from monthly or annual per-user fees, with tiers based on storage, integration capabilities, and support levels.

Sell handoff as a licensed protocol integrated into existing enterprise tools like IDEs, project management software, or customer support platforms. Revenue is generated through one-time licensing fees or annual contracts, with customization and support as add-ons.

Provide a free basic version of handoff for individual users, with limitations on handoff history or team size. Monetize through premium upgrades offering advanced features like analytics, priority support, and enhanced security, targeting professional and small business users.
