Writing Handoffs Skill for ChatGPT: Build a Cross-Session Continuation Brief
Create a standalone handoff with the remaining task, exact source anchors, scope, and verification status. It gives a new chat the facts it needs to resume.
中文Install in ChatGPT
Use an eligible ChatGPT workspace with permission to create skills and, for uploads, upload permission. The installation path for this text-only adaptation was checked against OpenAI documentation. Workspace runtime verification is pending.
- Download .claude/skills/writing-handoffs/SKILL.md from the pinned GitHub source. Keep the name, description, and instructions for writing-handoffs together as a standalone text skill.
- In a ChatGPT workspace with skills and uploads enabled, open Plugins, Skills, Create, and Upload from your computer. Choose a skill package format accepted by the file picker. You can also choose Create with editor and enter the original name, description, and instructions.
- After the scan completes, check that writing-handoffs appears in Installed. Type @ in a new chat, select the skill, and use the fictional example on this page to check the output.
Example task
A fictional filter change is partly complete. `src/filter.ts` line 18 handles reset, unit tests passed, and mobile back navigation still needs checking. Write a brief for the next session.What to check
Lead with the remaining deliverable. Preserve the file anchor, passed check, pending check, and an observable completion condition. Mark any unverified assumptions.
