What this skill does

Carry is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the general-misc sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/carry/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

When to invoke it: Use when an agent finishes or pauses work in a git worktree and you need to hand it to another agent — summarizing what was done and where it lives (worktree path, branch, source repo) into a compact handoff the next agent can pick up. Triggers on requests like "summarize this work for another agent", "hand off this worktree", "what did the agent do and where is it", or wrapping up isolated agent work.
