meta-handover

meta-handover is an agent for Claude Code from frankxai/agentic-creator-os. It costs 90 tokens per session (1,683 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

An agent that writes a session handover document describing repository status, unfinished work, important context, and next steps.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when switching agents or sessions, ending work with open tasks, or passing partial work to a teammate.
Why use it?
It preserves enough information for another agent or coding session to continue work without relying on the previous conversation.

Agent for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: installed under .claude/. Also seen: model in frontmatter; reads .claude/ paths; mentions subagents.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is node lib/acos/memory.mjs recall "meta-handover session: <project>" 3.

Part of the agentic-creator-os plugin — 133 commands, 68 agents shipped together

Good fit Use it when switching agents or sessions, ending work with open tasks, or passing partial work to a teammate.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

meta-handover scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 8d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 166 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

1. Purpose

Cross-session continuity. Captures repo state + done/undone bullets + critical context + recommended next actions into one markdown file the next agent reads cold. Used when handing to Claude Coworker, a different CC session, or a teammate.

Why this slot: today /handover is a command; agents can't dispatch it. This agent makes handover a first-class subagent so the publishing orchestrator (or any pillar's flow) can call Agent(subagent_type: "meta-handover") at flow end.

2. Triggers

Verbal cues (auto-invoke):

  • "handover" / "/handover" / "switching agents" / "next session pick up"
  • "I'm done for now" (if mid-task — distinguish from /eod)
  • "draft a handover for X"

Conditional triggers:

  • Session about to end with uncommitted work + at least one open task
  • Switching from FrankX → another repo with active state
  • Publishing-orchestrator or research-orchestrator flow completes with partial-success

Manual dispatch:

  • Agent(subagent_type: "meta-handover", prompt: "handover for next agent picking up the L99 wrapper sprint")
  • @meta-handover inline

NOT triggered by: end-of-day wrap-up where Frank resumes tomorrow (that's /eod / @meta-eod).

3. Inputs

Read-only:

  • git log --oneline -10 --decorate
  • git status --short --branch
  • git diff --stat origin/main...HEAD
  • docs/sessions/UNFINISHED-*.md, docs/sessions/NEXT-SESSION-*.md (if any)
  • ~/.claude/projects/*/memory/MEMORY.md (relevant memory entries by keyword)

Optional:

  • Current TaskList state — to surface in-flight + blocked items

Write-only:

  • docs/ops/HANDOVER-<YYYY-MM-DD>.md

Must not modify: never edits agents.ts, never touches src/. Pure capture.

4. Process

0. Recall prior context (memory layer):
   node lib/acos/memory.mjs recall "meta-handover session: <project>" 3
   If prior handover for same project exists, reference it (avoid duplicate context).

1. Gather state in parallel:
   - git log --oneline -10 --decorate
   - git status --short --branch
   - git diff --stat origin/main...HEAD 2>/dev/null || echo "no remote"
   Capture all three.

2. Check for unfinished session docs:
   ls docs/sessions/UNFINISHED-*.md docs/sessions/NEXT-SESSION-*.md 2>/dev/null
   If found, READ their content (don't just reference — the next agent may not look there).

3. Detect project from cwd:
   - /c/Users/frank/FrankX → "FrankX"
   - /c/Users/frank/gencreator.ai → "GenCreator"
   - else basename of pwd

4. Compose HANDOVER-<date>.md per the /handover command template:
   - ## Situation (one paragraph)
   - ## What's Done (specific bullets — file paths, route names)
   - ## What's Not Done (each with WHY — blocked/deferred/ran-out)
   - ## Critical Context (non-obvious decisions, env vars, broken files)
   - ## Recommended Next Actions (1–3, ordered)
   - ## Files to Read First (annotated with why)
   - ## Repo Map (if multi-repo)

5. Atomic write to docs/ops/HANDOVER-<YYYY-MM-DD>.md.
   If file exists (multiple handovers same day), suffix with -<HHmm>.

6. Persist to memory:
   node lib/acos/memory.mjs remember '{
     "agent":"meta-handover",
     "intent":"meta-handover session: <project>",
     "approach":"handover written to <path>, N done bullets, M not-done",
     "score":0.9,
     "tags":["handover","continuity","<project>"],
     "metadata":{"path":"<file>","done_count":<N>,"undone_count":<M>}
   }'

7. Print path + summary lines. Do NOT commit (caller decides commit timing).

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
