Wist

Hand off a project

A Handoff records where a project stands so another assistant can continue it. This page shows you how to create one and approve it.

Create a Handoff from the dashboard

Section titled “Create a Handoff from the dashboard”

To create a Handoff, follow these steps:

  1. Run wist to open the dashboard.

  2. Next to the project you want, click Hand off.

    Wist asks the coding agent you used, Claude Code or Codex, to write a Handoff from a copy of your latest session. The copy has no tools, so nothing in your project changes. This usually takes about a minute.

  3. Read the Handoff on the Share screen. It shows the goal, progress, decisions and their reasons, blockers, next actions, and the tools the project needs.

  4. If the Handoff is right, click Approve share.

Approval stays on your computer. To send the Handoff to an assistant, see Connect Muse.

Create a Handoff from your coding agent

Section titled “Create a Handoff from your coding agent”

You can also ask your coding agent to write a Handoff during a session. The wist skill command prints instructions that any coding agent can follow.

  • In Claude Code or Codex, ask: “Run wist skill and follow it to hand off this work.”

The agent saves a draft with wist draft. To review and approve the draft, run wist.

What Wist checks

Section titled “What Wist checks”

Before Wist saves a draft or sends a Handoff, it screens the text for anything that looks like a password, API key, or token. If it finds one, Wist refuses the draft and names the field to fix.
