claude-handoff is an open-source tool for Claude Code users, primarily addressing the problem of session interruptions or loss of context.
Purpose: It is used to hand off between Claude Code sessions. When a session crashes unexpectedly or you need to switch to a new session, the tool reads the existing conversation transcript and generates a handoff file for subsequent sessions to continue using. It can also distill project history into a memory brief with citations, making it easy to quickly restore project context in a new session.
Main capabilities: It supports processing arbitrary transcripts, and the official description emphasizes "even crashed ones", meaning that crashed session records can also be used; the output includes two types of content: a handoff file and a cited project memory brief.
How to use: The materials do not provide specific installation commands, runtime parameters, or example workflows, so none are provided for now.
Use cases: Suitable for developers who use Claude Code for longer project development, whose sessions are prone to interruption, or who need to maintain context across sessions.
Limitations: Based only on the available materials, its specific implementation details, dependency environment, supported record formats, whether it is compatible with a particular version of Claude Code, and any pricing or licensing information are not provided for now.
