handoff

handoff is a command for Claude Code from dosatos/minimise. It costs 10 tokens per session (358 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command for creating a handoff document that summarizes a coding session for the person or agent continuing later.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to record what was completed, what comes next, how to run the project, known problems, and the current branch or test status.
Why use it?
It prevents important progress, pending work, commands, and warnings from being lost between sessions.

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

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 4d 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

Create a handoff to summarize this session's work for next time:

  1. Copy template:

    TIMESTAMP=$(date +%Y-%m-%d-%H%M)
    cp worklogs/handoffs/HANDOFF_TEMPLATE.md "worklogs/handoffs/session-$TIMESTAMP.md"
    
  2. Edit the file and fill in:

    • ✅ What was accomplished (1-3 bullets)
    • 🚀 What's next (immediate, blockers, phase)
    • 🔧 How to run (test/use commands)
    • ⚠️ Gotchas (critical things to remember)
    • 📍 Current state (branch, tests passing, status)
  3. Update symlink:

    ln -sf "session-$TIMESTAMP.md" worklogs/handoffs/session-latest.md
    

Pro tip: Use your notes above to fill in the template quickly.

Carry forward the execution rule

In the handoff's How to run / Gotchas, remind the next session:

Delegate implementation to mini job, don't edit inline. It keeps the orchestrating context clean (execution churn stays in the job) and, run via the /minimise:review-plan skill, adds the plan-quality gate for free. Direct edits only for trivial one-liners or mini-blocked changes (migrations, internal refactors).

If this session did any implementation directly instead of via mini job, note that as debt so next session can course-correct.

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.
