## Goal of next session

Finish wiring the redaction linter into `/cs:handoff` and ship a draft PR before EOD.

## State of play

_Git context (auto-included from config)._

- Branch: `claude/handoff-skill-review-LnSxe`
- Last commit: `87fb428 feat(productivity): add handoff skill`
- Dirty files: 3

- Done:
  - Redaction linter implemented with 17 regex patterns — commit `a1b2c3d`
  - First-run setup walks 5 questions and writes config — commit `d4e5f6g`
  - SessionStart hook tested end-to-end on `/tmp/handoff-*.md` — verified manually
- In flight:
  - Wiring `cs-handoff.md` command to call linter after template generator — uncommitted in `productivity/handoff/commands/`
- Blocked:
  - SessionStart hook smoke test on macOS — need access to mac, waiting on @teammate

## Open decisions

- Q: Should the SessionStart hook surface the *latest* handoff or *all* handoffs from today?
  - Options considered: latest only, all-from-today, user-configurable
  - Lean: latest only — keeps context window small
  - Forcing constraint: ships in v1.0, can change in v1.1
- Q: Strict redaction mode by default, or warn?
  - Options considered: strict, warn
  - Lean: strict — Matt's redaction sentence implies hard enforcement
  - Forcing constraint: none; reversible in config

## Skills to use

- handoff — to update this doc when work continues
- code-review — to review the PR before opening it
- security-scan — to confirm no secrets are committed alongside the linter
- update-docs — to refresh README with the SessionStart hook installation step

## Artifacts

- Branch: `claude/handoff-skill-review-LnSxe`
- Draft PR: https://github.com/alirezarezvani/claude-skills/pull/724

- Linter: `productivity/handoff/skills/handoff/scripts/redaction_linter.py`
