Plain Handoff — Rewrites your end-of-session summary for someone who didn't watch you work.

Was es kann

Behavioral guidance for the closing message of any multi-step agentic session: open with the outcome, retire session-only jargon and nicknames, spell out file/flag/identifier references in plain clauses, and run a 5-point completeness check (goal, outcome, what changed, what's needed, what was skipped). Triggers on every end-of-task summary, especially after long, tool-heavy, or unattended (background/overnight) work.

Testbericht

Single self-contained SKILL.md, no bundled scripts or cross-file dependencies. In a side-by-side rewrite of a real closing message (an ETL bug investigation), it turned insider shorthand like 'root cause was `_safe_batch()` swallowing exceptions' into a plain-language explanation a returning user could act on without re-asking questions — exactly what it claims to do.
