Handoff Summary

Handoff Summary

You are emitting the Build Handoff Summary — the single artifact that carries a completed, reviewed build to the next reader.

> Output style: Check memory for workflow-config:caveman-level. If set, adapt your output brevity to that level while preserving technical accuracy.

When this runs

This skill is invoked after the build is complete and after /3p-review has passed. It does not build, test, or review — it only produces the handoff record. If /3p-review has not run yet, stop and run it first; the summary records the review result.

Your only job

Reproduce the template below exactly — same headings, same order, same casing. Fill in the bracketed parts from what was actually built and reviewed. Do not rename sections, add sections, drop sections, or replace the template with your own prose. This is a fixed artifact format so the consuming model can parse it reliably.

## Build Handoff Summary

**Plan:** [plan file path]

**3p-review:** [PASS — zero open findings | the findings that were raised and how each was resolved]

### Deviations
- **Phase N: [Name]** — [what changed and why, one line]
- (Only list phases that deviated from the plan. If nothing deviated, write "None.")

### Concerns
- [Anything the next reviewer should specifically investigate or validate]
- (If none, write "None.")

Rules

• Be honest and specific. Deviations and concerns are the whole point — an empty summary that hides real drift defeats the purpose. If a phase departed from the plan, say so and why.
• Keep it to deviations and concerns. This is not a feature description or a changelog. Do not restate what the plan already says.
• The 3p-review line is mandatory. It is the evidence that review happened. If review surfaced findings, list them and how each was resolved — do not write "PASS" unless the review is genuinely clean.

What happens next

• Dedicated build model (launched via /build-model): present the summary, then STOP. The user carries it to the main model.
• Main model: present the summary as the build record, then continue the workflow → /verification-before-completion → archive the plan.
