Reset Claude Code Context with handoff.md Instead of /compact

Claude Code / SkillsIntermediate@tafdydy.pro.aisaved JUN 26

◇ Could this help me?

Yes: High-value general Claude Code practice. The handoff.md pattern prevents context rot from silently degrading session quality. Works for any project, especially useful when stepping away for hours or when Claude loops on the same broken solution.

Before we end this session, create a HANDOFF.md file that includes: the overall goal, current state of the work, all files we've touched, what changes were made, what we tried that didn't work, and what to do next. I'll use this to start a fresh session with /clear.
