README

claude-handoff

Summarize & export a Claude Code session into one clean handoff.md you can paste into Gemini, GPT, or another Claude — without the noise.

Claude Code stores every session locally as JSONL (~/.claude/projects/…/*.jsonl), full of tool calls, tool results, thinking blocks and system reminders. Existing exporters dump all of that into markdown. claude-handoff instead produces a handoff document: the actual conversation, what files were touched, what commands ran, and (optionally) an LLM-written summary of goal / decisions / current state / next steps — so the next model can just continue the work.

Zero dependencies. One Python file, stdlib only. Python 3.9+.
Deterministic by default. No API call, no cost, works offline.
--llm when you want a real summary. Claude, OpenAI or Gemini via your own API key — or --llm claude-cli, which runs your locally-installed Claude Code CLI on your existing Pro/Max plan: no API key at all.
Noise-free. Drops tool results, thinking blocks, system reminders, subagent chatter, slash-command envelopes. Keeps user intent, assistant answers, files modified, commands run.

Install

pipx install claude-handoff        # or: pip install claude-handoff
brew install Vasilispapg/tap/claude-handoff   # Homebrew
# or just grab the file — it's a single stdlib-only script:
curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Vasilispapg/claude-handoff/main/claude_handoff.py
python3 claude_handoff.py --list

# tab completion (bash or zsh):
eval "$(claude-handoff --completions zsh)"

Usage

claude-handoff                     # latest session → handoff.md
claude-handoff -i                  # pick from a numbered list
claude-handoff --list              # what sessions do I have? (title · first prompt)
claude-handoff --name "login bug"  # newest session whose title/prompt matches
claude-handoff "login bug"         # same — a non-path argument is a name search
claude-handoff --project myrepo    # latest session of a specific project
claude-handoff path/to/session.jsonl -o -     # explicit file → stdout
claude-handoff -o clipboard        # straight to the clipboard — go paste it
claude-handoff --last 5            # only the last 5 user turns
claude-handoff --since 2h          # only the last 2 hours of the session
claude-handoff --include-tools     # keep collapsed per-tool-call detail
claude-handoff --include-sidechains  # append subagent (sidechain) work

# claude.ai AND ChatGPT web chats too (each app's data export):
claude-handoff conversations.json --list
claude-handoff conversations.json --name "webhook bug"

# whole project in one handoff, oldest → newest:
claude-handoff --project myrepo --merge

# machine-readable:
claude-handoff --format json -o session.json

# auto-handoff: write one for every session when it ends
claude-handoff --install-hook

# real LLM summary (goal / decisions / current state / next steps):
claude-handoff --llm claude-cli                 # uses your Claude Code login — no API key
claude-handoff --llm ollama                     # local model — fully offline
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-...
claude-handoff --llm claude
claude-handoff --llm openai --model gpt-4o
claude-handoff --llm gemini --with-transcript   # summary + cleaned transcript
