A command that packages design specifications and implementation notes for a developer handoff. It covers visual measurements, interaction behavior, assets, quality checks, review readiness, and design versioning.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to produce a developer-ready handoff package with visual and interaction specifications, an asset list, a QA checklist, review checks, and implementation notes.
Why use it?
It reduces the chance that developers miss important design details or that design and implementation quality checks are handled separately.

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 1mo 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.

Steps

  1. Visual specs — Document all measurements and tokens using handoff-spec skill.
  2. Interaction specs — Define states and behaviors using handoff-spec skill.
  3. QA criteria — Create implementation checklist using design-qa-checklist skill.
  4. Review readiness — Verify against review criteria using design-review-process skill.
  5. Version — Tag the design version being handed off using version-control-strategy skill.
  6. Package — Compile all specs, assets, and notes.

Output

Complete handoff package with visual specs, interaction specs, asset list, QA checklist, and implementation notes. Consider following up with /setup-workflow to establish the ongoing QA process.

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.
