Capability · Handoffs
Your agent's reasoning
survives the reboot.
Sessions end. Laptops reboot. Models upgrade. The state is in git. The reasoning — why path A over B, the traps already hit, where you were mid-thought — usually evaporates. Not anymore.

Four verbs
One pattern. Everywhere a developer works.
CLI commands. MCP tools. Slash commands inside Claude Code. Same four verbs across every surface.
df handoff
Pause with context
Posts a structured note to a dedicated GitHub Issue with reasoning, linked PRs, and current live state. Secret-scrubbed before it lands.
df accept
Claim from the stack
Claims a handoff Issue (sets assignee, derives live state for every linked PR), and queues the prior session's reasoning into your current agent's context.
df rehydrate
Resume self
Bring yourself back into your own paused context. The morning-after-the-Friday-5pm-stop verb.
df handoffs
List the stack
See what's available to pick up — yours, your teammate's, your cloud agent's. A queryable stack on top of native GitHub primitives.
Native GitHub primitives
No new system to operate.
A `handoff` label
= the lineage. Closed handoffs are the audit trail, queryable forever.
The assignee
= who currently holds the baton. Empty = on the stack. `@me` = claimed.
The issue timeline
= the assignment + close audit, recorded by GitHub for free.
Get Started
Multi-session, multi-agent workflows that actually compose.
No private todo file. No 'what was I doing again?' hunt. Native GitHub Issues, secret-scrubbed, audit-trailed.
