Write a handoff doc before time off
Works with ChatGPT · Claude · Copilot
Hand your work to a colleague cleanly before vacation or leave.
The problem
Coverage breaks down because key context lives only in your head.
What this skill does
AI structures a handoff with active items, contacts, access, and 'if X then Y' notes.
When to use it
- Use a few days before any planned time off.
Juni’s tip
Juni says: write the doc for someone who knows nothing about your project.
The prompt

Fill in the blanks — your ready-to-use prompt builds as you type.
Weak vs. better
write a handoff note
Write a handoff doc from these notes: [my current work and contacts]. Sections: active tasks with status and deadline, key contacts, access/logins to request, and 'if X happens, do Y' for the 3 likeliest issues. Flag anything due while I'm away.
Why this works
The 'if X then Y' section is what lets a colleague act without messaging you on your day off.
Practice task
Pick your current tasks and write the handoff doc you'd want if someone covered for you.
Self-check
- Every active task shows status and deadline
- At least 3 'if X then Y' scenarios are covered
- Items due during your absence are flagged
Common mistakes to avoid
- Listing tasks with no current status
- Forgetting access or logins the cover person needs
- Assuming the reader already knows the context
