A command that records the current coding session so work can continue in a fresh context window.

It is for writing a handoff document, logging the session, and giving instructions for resuming the work.

It prevents important decisions, unfinished work, and blockers from being lost when the session changes.

Per session 0 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.

When invoked 248 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.

Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00000	$0.00248
Opus 5.5	$0.00000	$0.00099
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00000	$0.00050
Haiku 4.5	$0.00000	$0.00025

Security

Grade A, and why

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 2mo 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

/mpga:handoff

Export current session state for a fresh context window. Ready for peace — zero merge conflicts. Believe me, the smoothest handoff you've ever seen.

Steps

Check context budget: mpga session budget
Summarize current session state:
- What was accomplished this session
- Current milestone/phase/task
- Key decisions made (with rationale)
- Open questions and blockers
- Files modified this session
Save handoff document: mpga session handoff --accomplished "<summary>"
Log the session: mpga session log "<brief description of work done>"
Tell the user the handoff file location and how to resume

Usage

/mpga:handoff

Resume instructions

To resume in a new session:
1. Load context: cat MPGA/sessions/<date>-handoff.md
2. Load index: cat MPGA/INDEX.md
3. Load relevant scope: cat MPGA/scopes/<scope>.md
4. Resume from "Next action" in the handoff doc — Covfefe

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.
