The prompt

Write a handoff so a fresh session can continue this task without redoing finished work or retrying failed approaches. Task that is still open: [goal] What you have in front of you: [the thread, notes, diff, or files] The handoff is done when a new agent can act from it alone and can tell: - The outcome we still owe, in one paragraph. - Decisions already made, each with the reason. - Approaches that failed, the symptom, and why not to retry them. - Files, commands, and test results that are still true. - The next action, and the stop rules: what the next agent may do without asking, and what still needs a person (destructive, external, paid, or a scope change). - Open questions, split into “blocking” and “proceed with this assumption”. Do not resume the original task in this turn. Do not soften a failed attempt into a vague “explored options”. If a fact is only in a tool output I did not paste, write UNKNOWN rather than reconstructing it. Keep it under [800] words. Prefer bullets. No status-theater intro.
