Summary

Adds a /handoff command that creates a concise summary of the current session for error recovery or continuation in a new session.

When Claude encounters API errors (400/500) or a session needs to be handed off, users can run /handoff to save:

User's original goal
Current status
What was done
What remains
Key context needed to continue

The summary is written to ~/.claude-handoffs/handoff.md.

Test plan

Run /handoff during a session
Verify output file is created with correct structure
Start new session and use handoff file to continue work
