On Call Handoff Patterns

on-call-handoff-patterns

Master on-call shift handoffs with context transfer, escalation procedures, and documentation. Use this skill when transitioning on-call responsibilities between engineers and ensuring the incoming responder has full situational awareness, when writing a shift summary that captures active incidents, ongoing investigations, and recent changes, when handing off mid-incident so a fresh engineer can take over the incident commander role without losing context, when onboarding a new engineer to the on-call rotation for the first time, or when auditing and improving the quality of existing handoff processes across teams.

$ npx skills add wshobson/agents --skill on-call-handoff-patterns

How to use On Call Handoff Patterns

Once it's installed, Claude reads this skill on its own whenever a request matches what it's for, so you don't have to mention it by name. In Claude Code you can also run it directly by typing /on-call-handoff-patterns.

It contains no scripts, only instructions and reference files, so it can't run code on its own.
