Invoke the aide-handoff skill via the Skill tool — that is your only valid response to /aide:handoff.

Skill(skill="aide-handoff", args="<the user's full request, verbatim>")

The aide-handoff skill is the source of truth for the handoff operation. It carries:

  • The CREATE vs UPDATE detection logic
  • The content-gathering checklist (what the orchestrator must supply in the delegation prompt)
  • The delegation contract to the aide-spec-writer agent in session.aide mode
  • The hard constraints (no self-writes, no invented content, no deletion)

You MUST invoke the skill — do not attempt to handle /aide:handoff from this file alone. Skipping the skill means writing session.aide from a thin command-file checklist that omits the load-bearing constraints, which means drifting from the methodology.
