The hand-off
Transfer an AI project without losing information — a small document that turns a conversation back into a workable project.
A project is not its chat history. It consists of goal, decisions, material, open questions and next step. When those things live only between many messages, a change becomes difficult. A hand-off makes them usable again.
A hand-off is not minutes
It does not need to narrate everything that happened. It records what matters for continuation.
The skill is omission: only context that changes the next decision.
The five building blocks
Start with the goal. Then name decisions, authoritative materials, open points and the concrete next step. Add boundaries where something must not be used, changed or published.
A look back becomes a brief.
Hand-offs are quality work
A good hand-off exposes uncertainty before it becomes expensive.
It belongs at every meaningful transition, not only at the end.
