📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Updates plugins/me/skills/handoff/SKILL.md: reformats the description frontmatter to multiline, clarifies /handoff <text> argument handling, changes the filename-building step to display the path in a fenced text block, adds a Resume Checkpoint section to the output template, and reworks Content Rules to emphasize resumable state and standalone Resume Prompt requirements.

Changes

Handoff skill specification

Layer / File(s) Summary
Frontmatter, behavior wording, and filename display
plugins/me/skills/handoff/SKILL.md
Reformats description frontmatter to a multiline folded block, clarifies write-only behavior and explicit /handoff <text> argument handling (labels user-provided text at top of ## Next Steps), and changes the "Build filename" step to render the generated path inside a fenced text code block.
Resume Checkpoint section and reworked Content Rules
plugins/me/skills/handoff/SKILL.md
Adds a new ## Resume Checkpoint section to the output template with bullets for surface, last verified result, next action, and a re-validation guardrail. Reworks Content Rules to emphasize capturing resumable state over logs, using stable pointers, making next steps verifiable, excluding secrets/noisy logs, recording failed approaches and open questions, and ensuring the Resume Prompt is self-contained.

  • baleen37/bstack#676: Directly modifies the same SKILL.md file to handle /handoff <text> as explicit next-step instructions, which this PR refines and extends.
  • baleen37/bstack#628: Introduced the /handoff skill and its initial specification that this PR iterates upon.

Poem

🐇 Hop, hop — the handoff's neat,
A checkpoint block, resumable and sweet.
No secrets lurk, no noisy log,
Just stable pointers through the fog.
One prompt to rule the next-step leap! 🌿
