handoff_save
Save conversation context for transfer between AI chats or projects using structured templates or verbatim formats to preserve key decisions and implementation details.
Instructions
Save a conversation handoff for later retrieval. Use this to pass conversation context to another AI or project.
Format Selection
structured (default): Organize content using the template below. Much faster — reduces output tokens to ~5-20% of the original conversation. Best for most handoffs.
verbatim: Save the complete word-for-word conversation. Use only when exact wording matters (e.g., legal text, precise error messages).
