list_templatesLABSCO SUMMARY
The next session starts where the last one stopped.
Context does not survive between sessions, so the handoff has to be written down somewhere structured. The priority levels are the useful part: core-critical, full-required and enhancement say what breaks if the step gets skipped.
What it is
An MCP server for tracking handoffs between AI sessions. Work moves through a fixed chain — a next step becomes a working session, which closes as a handoff, which creates the next next step — with everything scoped to a project.
What you get
- Projects created, and deleted with all their data
- Next steps created and ranked as core-critical, full-required or enhancement
- A working session started against a next step
- A session closed as a handoff, with its details recorded
- Open next steps returned in priority order
- The complete history of a next step, its session and its handoff included
- Templates listed for next steps, working sessions and handoffs
Requirements
Node: npm install then npm run build, and point your client at the built build/index.js. Apache 2.0 licensed.
Setup effort
Build from source — git clone https://github.com/davidorex/project-handoffs.git
USE CASES
01
Ending a session so the next one can pick it up
Close the working session as a handoff, recording what was done and what is left.
02
Deciding what to work on first
Read the open next steps, already ordered by priority.
03
Understanding how a task reached its current state
Read the next step's full history, including its session and handoff.
04
Starting a piece of work properly
Create the next step at its priority, then open a working session against it.
05
Setting up tracking for a new project
Create the project and see which templates are available for it.
