Create Handoff

Write a session handoff file at .turbo/handoff/<YYYY-MM-DD>-<slug>.md so a fresh session can pick up where this one left off.

Step 1: Resolve the Target Path

Get today's date: date +%Y-%m-%d.

Pick a slug for the current task:

Lowercase
Replace non-alphanumeric characters with hyphens
Collapse consecutive hyphens
Trim leading and trailing hyphens
Truncate to 40 characters at a word boundary

If the work is anchored to an existing plan at .turbo/plans/<slug>.md, reuse that plan's slug verbatim.

The user may pass an explicit slug or output path; honor it.

The target path is .turbo/handoff/<YYYY-MM-DD>-<slug>.md. A generated slug takes -2, -3, and so on until the path is free. When the user supplied the slug or path and it already exists, use request_user_input to offer overwrite, a numeric suffix, or a different slug.

When an open decision will outlive the rest of the session's state, still unresolved while the work around it is finished, give it its own handoff. Everything else stays in a single file. Slug the split handoff for that decision rather than appending a collision suffix, and write it to stand alone.

State the chosen path before continuing.

Step 2: Gather Session State

Run git status --short to see uncommitted changes in the working tree.

Survey the conversation context for:

Current task: what is being worked on, in one or two sentences
Workflow status: where in the workflow this session is (drafting, refining iteration N, applying findings, implementing step M of K, investigating, blocked on Q, etc.)
Active artifact: path to the plan or other file at the center of the work, if one exists
Open decisions: questions raised but not resolved, choices the user is still weighing, escalations awaiting input
In-flight changes: staged or unstaged edits that are not yet committed; what each change is doing and what is missing
Closed avenues: approaches that were built or tested and then abandoned, with the observed evidence that ruled them out
Next step: the first concrete action the new session should take
