@moneycode11101-svg⭐ 1 stars

Hands the current conversation, or one part of it, to a new Claude Code session that appears in the Claude desktop app's sidebar and starts working right away, with no click. Use when the user asks to hand off, continue in a new chat or session, or move a task into its own session ("hand this off", "continue in a new session", "인계해", "새 채팅으로 넘어가", "새 세션에서 해"), including when the app's own session-starting tool is missing or refuses to start one.

Choose how to use this skill

You do not need every option. Choose the path your AI client supports. The stable page stays the same; versioned files are immutable.

Adopt or update this skill from https://proskills.md/skills/other/moneycode11101-svg-claude-code-desktop-handoff-skills-desktop-handoff. First identify the installation path supported by this platform, detect whether it is already installed, compare the installed version with the latest stable release, show me what will change, and only then install or update it. If no native installer is available, use the complete package or source fallback described on the page.

1. Native installer

This listing has no registered native installer command. Use the complete package or source fallback below, depending on what your client supports.

Do not guess an installer command or replace an existing version without reviewing the diff.

2. Complete package recommended

Download the ZIP when available. It includes SKILL.md plus the references, security notes and version metadata.

No complete ProSkills package is published for this listing yet.

3. Prompt-only

Copy the prompt above when the agent can read the stable page or when you want to adopt the workflow without installing a skill.

Need only the instruction file?

Download SKILL.md only if your client requires a single file. The complete ZIP is safer for a full installation because it preserves the references and release context.

No path installs or executes anything by itself. Your agent still needs access to the project files. Before updating, compare the installed version and review the diff.

desktop-handoff

Hand off your Claude Code conversation to a fresh session in the Claude desktop app—with zero clicks.

Opens right in the sidebar, starts working immediately, and sends a report back when finished.

A sample session recreated for this page. Nothing in it comes from a real project.

Install · Usage · Requirements · How it works

What it does

When a conversation gets too long or you want to branch off a subtask, desktop-handoff opens a real session in your desktop app's sidebar. Unlike default handoffs, it doesn't wait for you to click a button—it starts working right away and reports the results back to your original session.

Install

npx skills add moneycode11101-svg/claude-code-desktop-handoff -g -a claude-code

Or install with git:

git clone https://github.com/moneycode11101-svg/claude-code-desktop-handoff.git
cp -R claude-code-desktop-handoff/skills/desktop-handoff ~/.claude/skills/

After installing, open a new session in the Claude desktop app.

Usage

In any Claude Code session (Code tab), say it naturally or use the command:

"hand this off to a new session"
"continue in a new session"
/desktop-handoff

What happens automatically:

Claude summarizes the goal, progress, decisions, and files.
A new session opens in the desktop app sidebar for that folder.
The new session starts immediately and sends a brief summary back when done.

Requirements

	Status
macOS 26 (Apple silicon), Claude desktop app 2.31226.1, Claude Code CLI 2.1.302	Tested (2026-10-17)
Newer Claude desktop app builds	Not tested yet
Intel Mac, older macOS versions	Not tested yet
Windows, Linux	Not supported (uses macOS `script` syntax)
Terminal only (without the Claude desktop app)	Not supported

Needed on PATH:

claude: Claude Code CLI, signed in (setup guide)
jq: /usr/bin/jq on recent macOS; otherwise brew install jq
script: included with macOS

How it works

Runs a quick seed turn (claude -p) to create the session ID (~3s).
Opens that session in the sidebar via claude --desktop --resume <id> wrapped in script.
Sends the context via SendMessage so the new session starts working immediately in a clean environment.
