handoff

handoff is a command for Claude Code from optimiziramsi/skills. It costs 20 tokens per session (73 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A session-closing command that updates .agent/handoff.md with notes for the next coding session.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when ending a session to record continuity notes for whoever—or whatever agent—continues the work.
Why use it?
It preserves useful context between sessions so you do not have to reconstruct what happened.

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 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

Invoke the handoff skill via the Skill tool and follow its SKILL.md steps exactly. This wrapper carries no logic — the skill is the single source of the steps.

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.
