you are mid-conversation with your Hermes Agent in the terminal and you have to leave your desk.

type this in the chat:

`/handoff telegram`

the session moves to your Telegram home channel with its full history, and the agent replies there with a short summary of where you left off. you carry on from your phone.

useful when you head out mid-project, or when a chat you started at your desk needs finishing on the train!
