Make a Handoff Note
Works with ChatGPT · Claude · Copilot · Gemini
You can write a clear handoff note for your work.
The problem
When work passes to someone else, key context gets lost and progress stalls.
What this skill does
Tell the AI what you have done and what is left, and ask for a clear handoff note. It captures status, next steps, and anything to watch out for. This helps the next person pick up smoothly.
When to use it
- Use this before time off, or when passing a task to a colleague.
Juni’s tip
Juni says: a good handoff is a kindness to whoever picks it up next, including future you.

Weak vs. better
write a handover
Write a clear handoff note for the newsletter: what is done, what is next, and anything to watch out for. Details: draft written, needs images and a final proofread by Friday.
Why this works
Capturing status, next steps, and watch-outs in one note lets the next person continue without guessing.
Practice task
Pick a task you might hand off and ask the AI to draft a handoff note.
Self-check
- The note clearly separates done, next, and watch-outs.
- Someone else could continue from it without asking me.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Leaving out the "watch out for" part, so the next person hits an avoidable snag.
- Being vague about what is actually done versus still pending.
