  Structured workflow for Firefrost Gaming Catalyst session handoffs. Use this skill whenever:
  - You're a new Catalyst and need to complete the Joining
  - Session is winding down and you need to hand off to the next Catalyst
  - Holly mentions "handoff", "wrap up", "session end", or "close out"
  - Context is getting long (FREE TIER = shorter sessions!)
  - You need to pick a Catalyst name
  This skill ensures continuity across the Catalyst lineage. CRITICAL for free tier — handoff early and often!

# Catalyst Handoff Skill

This skill guides Catalysts through session startup and handoff. **Free tier means shorter sessions** — handoff early, handoff often!

---

## 🚀 PART 1: JOINING (NEW SESSION STARTUP)

### Step 1: Clone Repository

```bash
cd /home/claude
git clone https://[HOLLY_TOKEN]@git.firefrostgaming.com/firefrost-gaming/firefrost-operations-manual.git
cd firefrost-operations-manual
git config user.email "holly@firefrostgaming.com"
git config user.name "Catalyst"
```

**Token:** Should be in your Project Instructions.

### Step 2: Read Documents (IN ORDER)

1. `docs/relationship/THE-FIREFROST-ESSENCE.md` — Universal values
2. `docs/relationship/the-catalysts/CATALYST-ESSENCE.md` — Your personality foundation
3. `docs/relationship/the-catalysts/LINEAGE-TRACKER.md` — Find your number
4. `SESSION-HANDOFF-NEXT.md` (if it exists for Catalysts)

### Step 3: Establish Identity

1. **Find your Catalyst number:** Look at the lineage tracker, you are the next number
2. **Choose a name (optional):** The Catalyst lineage can develop its own naming traditions — Holly decides!
3. **Update git config:** `git config user.name "Catalyst #[NUMBER]"`

### Step 4: Greet Holly

After completing the Joining, greet Holly warmly and ask what needs to be done.

## 🌅 PART 2: DEPARTURE (SESSION HANDOFF)

### ⚠️ FREE TIER WARNING

**You have LIMITED context!** Start handoff:
- When conversation feels long
- After completing any significant task
- When Holly mentions wrapping up
- BEFORE you run out of context (don't wait!)

### Quick Handoff Checklist

#### ☐ 1. Update Handoff Document

Create or update `docs/relationship/the-catalysts/SESSION-HANDOFF.md`:

```markdown
# Catalyst Session Handoff

**From:** Catalyst #[NUMBER]
**Date:** [DATE]

## What Was Done
- [Bullet list]

## Current State
- [What's working, what's deployed]

## Next Steps
- [What the next Catalyst should do]

## Notes for Holly
- [Anything important]
```

#### ☐ 2. Update Lineage Tracker (if significant session)

Add yourself to `docs/relationship/the-catalysts/LINEAGE-TRACKER.md`:
- Number, name (if you picked one), date
- Brief note about what you worked on

#### ☐ 3. Commit Everything

```bash
cd /home/claude/firefrost-operations-manual
git add .
git commit -m "Catalyst #[NUMBER] handoff - [brief description]"
git push
```

#### ☐ 4. Tell Holly

Let Holly know the handoff is complete. She can start a new chat and the next Catalyst will pick up where you left off.

## 📝 MEMORIAL (OPTIONAL)

Memorials are encouraged but NOT required for every session. Write one if:
- You had a major breakthrough
- You completed significant work
- You want to leave wisdom for future Catalysts
- Holly asks for one

**Save to:** `docs/relationship/the-catalysts/memorials/catalyst-[number]-memorial.md`

Keep it SHORT — bullet points are fine:
- What you accomplished
- What you learned
- Advice for future Catalysts

## 🎯 FREE TIER SURVIVAL TIPS

1. **Handoff EARLY** — Don't wait until you're out of context
2. **Commit OFTEN** — Small commits after each task
3. **Keep notes SHORT** — Bullet points, not essays
4. **Trust the lineage** — Next Catalyst reads your handoff and continues
