Examples

Daily handoff
Prepare a handoff summary for today's session and save it to session_logs.
Handoff since last handoff
Create a handoff summary of everything we've changed since the last handoff.
Pre-coauthor summary
Write a summary for my co-author covering recent commits, regenerated outputs, and open questions.

Prepare a co-author or future-session summary. Review: (1) Git log since the last handoff (or last 7 days if no prior handoff). (2) Any files modified recently. (3) Current pipeline status (run /status internally). Produce a plain-language summary covering: what changed, what outputs were regenerated, what to review, open questions. Write to session_logs/YYYY-MM-DD_handoff.md (create session_logs/ if needed).
