Brings the workspace plugin's /clear handoff to any repository: the skill writes a curated note (goal, git state, decisions, dead ends, next task, files to read) to ~/.claude/handoffs/, and a SessionStart hook on 'clear' injects it once within a 60-minute TTL. Nothing is written inside the repo or to CLAUDE.md; durable learnings are proposed, not applied.

'/handoff:handoff we'll continue tomorrow morning' now arms the note until noon tomorrow instead of the fixed 60 minutes. A new 'arm' subcommand stamps an expires_at header into the note (--ttl-minutes or --until HH:MM|ISO, capped at 7 days), and the hook honors it, falling back to the mtime TTL for unarmed notes. The hook now also fires on startup, since a resume hours later is a fresh launch rather than a /clear.

Confirm before replacing an existing handoff.
When exists is true, Step 4 overwrites the saved note. Ask the user to confirm before replacing it, and stop if they decline. Otherwise, this workflow can destroy an earlier handoff and its resume context.
As per path instructions, plugins/docs/SKILL-GUIDELINES.md requires side-effecting skills to “require confirmation before destructive operations.”

Two additional actionable findings. The path-key collision is already covered by an existing inline comment, so I have not duplicated it.

Important — an armed handoff can be missed after a directory change. Claude Code substitutes ${CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR} into skill text but does not export it to Bash tool commands (plugin reference). If Claude has changed from the project root to a subdirectory, the skill's path and arm calls fall back to os.getcwd() here, while the SessionStart hook receives the project root as CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR. I reproduced path and arm under repo/src followed by a hook read for repo: the hook returned no note and left it armed. Pass the substituted project directory explicitly to the script from the skill (for path, arm, and clear) so both sides use one key.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Good catch, and thanks for the repro — you're right that CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR only lands in the hook's real environment, not in the Bash tool's subprocess env. Fixed in 79af998: path/arm/clear now take an explicit --project-dir, which SKILL.md passes as "${CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR}" (same text-substitution mechanism CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT already relies on), so a cd by the agent can't desync the note key from what read resolves.

Important — the accepted note size exceeds Claude Code's hook context limit. Claude Code caps each additionalContext string at 10,000 characters; above that it supplies a file path and only a 2,000-character preview, without asking Claude to read the file (hooks reference). This 16 KiB note cap plus the wrapper in build_context() permits a larger string. I reproduced an 11,535-character context with Next task after the preview; consume() had already retired the note, so the next session would miss the task. Bound the complete context below the platform limit and preserve the actionable sections within that bound.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Confirmed — measured build_context()'s wrapper overhead at ~455 chars, so 16 KiB of note body plus wrapper easily cleared the 10,000-char additionalContext limit. Fixed in 79af998 by dropping MAX_INJECT_BYTES to 8 KiB, with the test tightened to assert the full injected context stays under 10,000 chars. Thanks for the thorough repro on this one too.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
I rechecked 79af998. The 8 KiB cap avoids the original >10,000-character hook output for ordinary paths, but it introduces a separate silent-loss case. I wrote a 58-line handoff note of 8,485 bytes with ## Next task last (within the skill's under-60-line format); arm returned ok. The complete build_context() would be 8,951 characters, below Claude Code's 10,000-character limit, but read delivered only 8,623 characters, omitted the next task, and retired the full note. So an otherwise deliverable note now loses its core handoff instruction. Please either reject/shorten oversized notes before they can be consumed, or construct the bounded context so required sections survive and truncation is visible. The README's 16 KiB size-cap text also needs to match the new behavior.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Fair catch — the flat 8 KiB pre-wrap byte cap was disconnected from the actual 10,000-char limit, exactly as you showed. Fixed in ccc4efa with your suggested two-part approach: arm now computes the real per-directory character budget (10,000 minus build_context()'s wrapper overhead) and rejects a note that exceeds it with an actionable error, and read keeps that as a backstop for the unarmed/default-TTL path — truncating to the same precise budget with a visible marker pointing at the retired original, instead of a silent cut. Re-ran your 8,485-byte/58-line repro shape locally (filler + trailing ## Next task): arms clean, and read now delivers it intact at 8,982 chars. README's stale 16 KiB mention is also updated. Thanks for pushing on this one.
…e cap Addresses two review findings from lucaconsalvi on PR openshift-eng#301: - CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR is only a real env var for hook subprocesses, not for commands the skill runs via the Bash tool. path/arm/clear now take an explicit --project-dir, which the skill passes as "${CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR}" (text-substituted, same as CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT already is), so a `cd` by the agent can no longer desync the note key from what `read` resolves. - MAX_INJECT_BYTES (16 KiB) could push additionalContext past Claude Code's 10,000-character hook limit, which silently drops to a file-path preview — and by then consume() has already retired the original note. Lowered to 8 KiB to leave headroom for build_context()'s wrapper text. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

The 8 KiB flat byte cap from the previous fix truncated the raw note before wrapping, using a budget disconnected from Claude Code's actual 10,000-character additionalContext limit. lucaconsalvi reproduced an 8,485-byte note getting cut before its "Next task" section even though the fully wrapped context would only be 8,951 characters — well under the real limit. - arm now rejects a note that would exceed the real per-directory character budget (HOOK_CONTEXT_LIMIT minus build_context()'s wrapper overhead), so oversized notes are caught with an actionable error instead of silently mangled later. - read keeps a generous, unrelated sanity ceiling on raw bytes read (MAX_NOTE_READ_BYTES) and, as a backstop for a note that reached it unarmed, truncates to the same precise budget with a visible marker pointing at the retired original instead of a silent cut. - README's stale "16 KiB" size-cap line now describes the real behavior.

The 10,000-character bound applies to additionalContext, not the entire hook output. “Hook output limit” implies a broader limit and can mislead readers about what arm budgets. Name additionalContext here.

Enforce the read ceiling before loading the note.
Path.read_bytes() loads the entire file before the slice applies. If a pending note is very large, the SessionStart hook can exhaust memory despite MAX_NOTE_READ_BYTES. Open the file in binary mode and read at most the ceiling before decoding.

lucaconsalvi reproduced actual cross-project context injection: '/tmp/foo-bar' and '/tmp/foo/bar' both sanitize to 'tmp-foo-bar', so arming a note in one project and reading in the other delivered project A's note (and next task) into project B's session. The same unbounded sanitization also makes deeply nested paths (363+ chars observed) fail with "File name too long" on macOS. note_key now truncates the readable, sanitized path to 60 characters and appends a 10-hex-char SHA-256 digest of the full resolved path, so different directories can no longer collide regardless of depth or sanitized-string overlap.
