handoff

handoff is a command for Claude Code from fatihkan/badi. It costs 0 tokens per session (590 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A handoff briefing that records the current state of development work for another developer or a later session. It gathers notes, tasks, branch information, and unfinished work into a handoff file.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to document completed work, open tasks, known issues, environment requirements, access needs, branch status, and test status.
Why use it?
It prevents lost context when work changes hands, including what was completed, what remains, what is blocked, and what setup is needed.

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 today.

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 — 102 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Handoff briefing command. Enables a smooth transition to another developer or session.

Required Tools

  • Read (context, notes, tasks)
  • Bash (git status)
  • Write (handoff file)

Procedure (5 Steps)

Step 1: Gather Context

Build the full picture of the current state:

  • Read memory.md
  • Review the daily notes
  • Check the git status (branch, uncommitted changes)
  • Read the task board
  • Check previous handoff notes

Step 2: Document Achievements

List the work completed in this period:

  • Completed features and improvements
  • Fixed bugs
  • Completed research or analyses
  • Architectural decisions taken and their rationale
  • Refactoring or cleanup work done

Step 3: Identify Prerequisites

Prepare what the recipient needs:

  • Development environment requirements
  • Special configuration or access needs
  • Migrations or scripts that must be run
  • Environment variables
  • Third-party service access details (excluding secrets)

Step 4: Build the Recipient Context

So the person taking over can start immediately:

  • Current branch state and where it merges
  • Open tasks in priority order
  • Known issues and workarounds
  • Blocked work and what it waits on
  • Test status (passing/failing tests)
  • Critical deadlines

Step 5: Create the Handoff File

Create handoffs/handoff-[DDMMYY].md:

# Handoff Briefing - [date]

[the project's current state, 2-3 sentences]

## Period Summary
**Start:** [date]

   - Status: [status]
   - Next step: [step]
2. **[MEDIUM]** [task description]

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.

handoff is a command published in the GitHub repository fatihkan/badi (7 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 590 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-06.
