Write a handoff document summarising the current conversation so a fresh agent can continue the work. Save it to a path produced by `mktemp -t handoff-XXXXXX.md` (read the file before you write to it).
Suggest the skills to be used, if any, by the next session.
Redact any sensitive information - secrets, API keys, passwords, or personally identifiable information - before writing it into the document. `(review-time: no hook inspects free-form handoff-doc text before it is written)`
Do not duplicate content already captured in other artifacts (specs, plans, ADRs, issues, commits, diffs). Reference them by path or URL instead.
If the user passed arguments, treat them as a description of what the next session will focus on and tailor the doc accordingly.
