Feature

When a session ends, the active Buddymon should collect not just XP/challenge state but also context breadcrumbs — key decisions, references, and ideas surfaced during the session — and surface them at the start of the next session.

Problem

Ideas and references discussed mid-session (e.g. a new model, a product idea, an architectural decision) often get buried in scroll history and are lost by the next session. The session summary captures task lists but not the nuance of what was discussed.

Proposed mechanic

On session end (Stop hook):

Buddymon prompts: "Anything to pass forward?" (optional, dismissible)
Or: automatically extracts key context from session (via LLM summarisation of tool calls + messages)
Writes to ~/.claude/buddymon/handoff.json

On session start:

If handoff.json exists, Buddymon surfaces a "📬 Notes from last session" bubble
Shows 2-3 key context items
User can dismiss, expand, or pin to active session

Context types worth capturing

Model/library references encountered
Architectural decisions made
Deferred ideas to revisit
Blockers identified

Notes

Complements (does not replace) the existing ECC session summary system
Should be lightweight — a nudge, not a wall of text
Fits the Buddymon "living session companion" metaphor naturally
