Handoff is a Rust CLI tool that transfers coding context between AI coding agents like Codex and Claude Code by generating a markdown handoff file with session details, git state, and diffs. Its local-first design and cross-agent interoperability fill a practical gap for developers managing long refactoring sessions across different agent tools.

Target audience: backend devs, devops, ai engineers
