Description
"Manage workflow state across sessions with handoff and resume. TOON-based state persistence."

AI-consumed reference. Optimized for Claude to read during execution. Human-readable explanation: see docs/architecture/HIERARCHICAL_PLANNING.md or docs/getting-started/ depending on topic.

Session Continuation

Manage workflow state across sessions.

Triggers

Token ≥75% → suggest handoff. User says handoff/save → execute. User says resume + name/ID → load.

Handoff = one file per session, named after the session

.claude/handoffs/<name>.{json,md} — <name> = slug of the session title: /rename custom title → auto (ai) title → session-<id8>. Two sessions in one project never overwrite each other; a same-title clash gets -<id8>.

Handoff Flow (user says handoff)

  1. Run node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/hooks/compact-handoff.cjs" --save --note "<done · next steps · decisions · blockers>". The session id comes from AF_CLAUDE_SESSION_ID (exported at SessionStart). The note is the part only you know — make it specific.
  2. Follow the project's plan. The handoff records the plan tree anchor (.claude/plans/active.json, from the project root) and the project's own plan docs (ROADMAP.md, *_PLAN.md, docs/*plan*…). If one of those is the living plan, update it there — don't fork a second plan into the handoff.
  3. Code project with an open /run: also keep run-state.json current (current_phase, next_action). Non-code project (no .git, no manifest): do not create .claude/logs/runs/ or plan logs — the handoff file is the only state.
  4. Output the name + resume command the script prints: /run resume <name> (or claude --resume "<title>").

Resume Flow (/run resume <name>)

  1. node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/hooks/compact-handoff.cjs" --show <name> (accepts name, title or session id; --list for all).
  2. Re-read the plan docs + run state it lists → verify file state → continue from the note / next action. Don't restart finished work.

Auto-Save / Auto-Resume (hooks — no action needed)

hooks/compact-handoff.cjs saves the same per-session file automatically:

  • PreCompact (manual + auto) → always saves.
  • Stop → saves when context ≥ AF_HANDOFF_THRESHOLD (default 70%, read from the statusline's .claude/cache/context-usage.json); without statusline data, saves only while a run is open.
  • SessionStart compact/resume of the same session → injects its handoff (auto snapshots are then deleted; manual ones stay). A new session only gets a list of named handoffs — never another session's context. clear → nothing.

Handoffs older than 14 days are pruned. Disable: AF_COMPACT_HANDOFF_DISABLED=true.

Error Handling

Not found → show available, suggest /run. Corrupted → restore from .backup.json.

Cleanup

Completed: 30 days. Cancelled: 7 days. Paused: indefinitely.
