ashlr-handoff

ashlr-handoff is a command for coding agents from ashlrai/ashlr-plugin. It costs 17 tokens per session (180 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that creates a plain-text handoff for continuing work in a fresh coding-agent session.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to capture the branch and uncommitted state, recent commits, genome state, frequently used tools, and major projects for someone—or another session—to resume.
Why use it?
It preserves key repository and project context when the next session starts without the current conversation.

Command

Installs and runs on its own, but its text points at files inside its plugin — anything it tells you to read at a ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} path is only there once the plugin is installed. Installing the plugin gets both.

Install

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

npx agentmods add commands/ashlrai/ashlr-plugin/ashlr-handoff
Clone the repo
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/ashlrai/ashlr-plugin

Or install ashlr, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 11 skills, 36 commands, 5 agents, 7 hooks, 1 MCP server.

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

ashlr-handoff 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 5d 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.

What it actually says

Generate a plain-text handoff that can be pasted into a fresh Claude Code session. Renders branch/dirty state, last 5 commits, genome state, top session tools, and top lifetime projects — all in ASCII so it copies cleanly.

Run via Bash:

bun run ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/savings-dashboard.ts --handoff

Print the script's stdout verbatim — do not paraphrase. The output is designed to be copy-pasted, so any reformatting from this skill weakens the handoff.

If the script fails, fall back to telling the user: /ashlr-dashboard --handoff failed — run git log and check status line.

Changes

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.
