/ashlr-handoff

Generate a context-pack for the next session to resume cold.

When to use

At the end of a long session before closing Claude Code, or before switching machines. The handoff prints a plain-text block you can paste into the next session so the new agent picks up branch state, recent commits, genome status, and the top tools used — without re-reading every file.

What it does

/ashlr-handoff is an alias for /ashlr-dashboard --handoff. It renders:

  1. Branch + dirty file count
  2. Last 5 commits
  3. Genome state (present at .ashlrcode/genome/ or "not initialized")
  4. Top 5 tools this session (calls + tokens saved)
  5. Top 3 lifetime projects (from ~/.ashlr/session-log.jsonl)

Output is plain ASCII — no ANSI colors — so it survives clipboard round-trips and pastes cleanly into any terminal or chat surface.

Output (example)

# ashlr handoff — paste into next session for cold-start context
