Summary

  • Retires the handoff plugin (/handoff:handoff) and replaces it with next (/next:go), ported from pablofontanilla/claude-next now that Claude Code supports plugin function hooks ("mods").
  • /next:go writes the same curated handoff note, then auto-clears and resumes in a fresh session by itself — no manual /clear, no confirmation prompt.
  • New hooks/register.ts function-hook mod drives the clear/resume sequence (command.run → tool.call → turn.complete); scripts/handoff.py keeps the stdlib-only note read/arm logic (notes move to ~/.claude/next/); claude plugin validate and claude plugin test both pass.
  • Catalog regenerated via ./marketplace catalog-update.

Test plan

  • ./marketplace validate next
  • python3 plugins/next/tests/test_handoff.py (29 tests)
  • claude plugin test plugins/next (4 mod tests)
  • claude plugin validate plugins/next (manifest, hooks, $.state contract)
  • python3 scripts/lint-skills.py plugins/next/skills/*/SKILL.md
  • bash plugins/tests/marketplace_smoke_test.sh
  • npx markdownlint-cli2 'plugins/next/**/*.md'
  • Manual: /next:go in a live session on Claude Code 2.1.289+

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added the Next Session plugin, which creates a handoff note and automatically clears the session and resumes work in a fresh session after a successful handoff.
    • Added installation and usage guidance for the plugin.
  • Changes
    • The marketplace now lists Next Session instead of the handoff plugin. Handoff notes use a new default storage location.
  • Removed
    • Removed the former handoff plugin and its documentation.

/next:go supersedes /handoff:handoff: it clears the context and resumes
in a fresh session from the handoff note automatically, via a plugin
function hook, instead of requiring a manual /clear. Ported from the
pablofontanilla/claude-next prototype now that Claude Code supports
plugin mods.

Walkthrough

The pull request replaces the handoff plugin listing with next. The go skill prepares and arms a handoff note. A hook tracks the workflow and clears the context and submits a resume prompt after a qualifying completed turn.

Changes

Next session handoff

Layer / File(s) Summary
Plugin setup and replacement
.claude-plugin/marketplace.json, .gitignore, plugins/handoff/..., plugins/next/.claude-plugin/plugin.json, plugins/next/types/index.d.ts, plugins/next/tsconfig.json
The marketplace and manifest identify the plugin as next, and the manifest adds its type declaration path and license. The prior handoff README and skill are removed. The new type declaration defines the hook phase state.
Handoff note preparation
plugins/next/skills/go/SKILL.md, plugins/next/scripts/handoff.py, plugins/next/README.md
The go skill gathers session and Git state, writes and arms a structured note, and reports errors. The script uses ~/.claude/next/ by default and changes the injected resume instructions. The README documents the plugin workflow and constraints.
Hook lifecycle and resume
plugins/next/hooks/*, plugins/next/tests/next.test.ts
The hook tracks the workflow through idle, running, and armed phases. It clears the context and submits a resume prompt only when an armed workflow ends with reason answer. Tests cover successful arming, failed arming, aborted turns, and arming outside /next:go.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Change: Feature

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to a2792

The changed handoff flow has no established merge-blocking risk; the remaining manual validation is normal follow-up rather than evidence of a failure.

Review comments at @plugins/next/hooks/register.ts:
- Around line 27-30: Update the arm-command validation in the hook around ARM,
OK, and isArmed so unrelated Bash commands or output cannot arm a note. Match
the intended script invocation and parse the result as a JSON object whose
status is exactly “ok”; add a negative test confirming unrelated Bash output
does not arm the session.
- Around line 52-55: Separate failures from `$.command.run({ command: 'clear'
})` and `$.prompt.submit` in the SessionStart hook. If clear succeeds but
submission of `RESUME` fails, direct the user to the retained `.consumed.md`
note or to retry submission with its context; do not tell them to run `/clear`
again.

Review comments at @plugins/next/skills/go/SKILL.md:
- Around line 80-83: In the handoff flow, require the Write tool to successfully
write the current note before running handoff.py arm; if Write fails, stop and
report the failure without arming, so an earlier note cannot be used.

Auto-applied: none (all three findings needed judgment calls)

Accepted after review:
- plugins/next/hooks/register.ts:30: parse Bash tool output as JSON instead of substring-matching "status": "ok", so a spoofed command can't arm a note
- plugins/next/hooks/register.ts:55: distinguish clear failure from resume failure so the recovery toast doesn't point users at a note already retired to .consumed.md
- plugins/next/skills/go/SKILL.md:83: stop before arming if the Write tool fails, instead of risking a re-arm of a stale note

Also fixed (not from CodeRabbit): stale module docstring in handoff.py still referencing the old ~/.claude/handoffs/ directory

Addressed CodeRabbit summary/pre-merge findings:

  • Docstring coverage (28.57% < 80% threshold): Won't fix — this repo's CLAUDE.md directs "no comments unless the WHY is non-obvious." The flagged functions (e.g. emit, cmd_path) are one-liners where a docstring would just restate the name; the functions with real invariants (note_key, note_path, consume) already have docstrings explaining why.
  • AI attribution trailer format (requesting Assisted-by/Generated-by instead of Co-Authored-By): Won't fix via this triage — this session is explicitly configured to use the Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> trailer, and no such policy is documented anywhere in this repo (CONTRIBUTING.md, plugins/docs/CONTRIBUTING.md, .coderabbit.yaml). If this reflects a real Red Hat-org CodeRabbit policy, it needs a human decision on repo-wide commit conventions, not an automated change here.

(The "final_review_risk" blurb restating the three inline findings was addressed via the inline replies on this PR — fixed in a27924f.)
