fix(productivity): add H1 heading to caveman/grill-me/handoff SKILL.md
test_skill_integrity.py::TestSkillMdHasH1 requires every SKILL.md to have an
H1 heading. Matt Pocock's originals didn't have H1s (just frontmatter + body)
so the verbatim preservation tripped this test on dev's CI.

Adding minimal H1 headings ("Caveman Mode", "Grill Me", "Handoff") without
modifying Matt's body content. Voice + workflow + rules preserved exactly.

Full pytest suite: 1921 passed (was 3 failed).
Write-a-skill review checklist: still PASS on all 3 SKILL.md (69/58/41 lines,
all under Matt's 100-line ceiling).

handoff

Conversation-handoff document generator. Saves the current state of a conversation so a fresh agent can pick up the work cleanly.

Attribution

Derived from Matt Pocock's handoff (MIT). Matt's no-duplication discipline preserved verbatim — handoff docs reference existing artifacts by path/URL, never duplicate them.

What this adds on top of Matt's original

Addition Where Why
3 stdlib Python tools skills/handoff/scripts/ Template generator (tailored to next-session focus), artifact deduplicator (find references that should replace inline content), skill recommender (which skills next session needs)
3 in-depth references (5+ sources each) skills/handoff/references/ Handoff structure · Deduplication discipline · Skill matching for next session
cs-handoff-author persona agent agents/cs-handoff-author.md Continuity-focused handoff author with hard rule against duplication
/cs:handoff slash command commands/cs-handoff.md One-shot handoff generation with argument hint

Matt's original (preserved)

"Write a handoff document summarising the current conversation so a fresh agent can continue the work. Save it to a path produced by mktemp -t handoff-XXXXXX.md (read the file before you write to it). Suggest the skills to be used, if any, by the next session. Do not duplicate content already captured in other artifacts (PRDs, plans, ADRs, issues, commits, diffs). Reference them by path or URL instead. If the user passed arguments, treat them as a description of what the next session will focus on and tailor the doc accordingly."

Quick start

# Generate a handoff template scaffold tailored to next-session focus
python skills/handoff/scripts/handoff_template_generator.py --next-focus "ship PR 2"

# Detect artifacts in a handoff draft that could be replaced by references
python skills/handoff/scripts/artifact_deduplicator.py path/to/draft-handoff.md

# Recommend skills for the next session based on handoff content
python skills/handoff/scripts/skill_recommender.py path/to/handoff.md
