handoff

handoff is a command for Claude Code from restarter/lets-workflow. It costs 116 tokens per session (9,435 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A handoff command writes a self-contained brief for another coding agent or reviewer. The brief can describe local changes, staged changes, a commit, a branch, or a pull request without relying on the current conversation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to transfer work on uncommitted or staged changes, the last commit, a branch, or a GitHub or Bitbucket pull request. It can produce a message for tools such as Codex.
Why use it?
It prevents the next agent from missing important context about the repository and the work in progress. It also supports sending the brief to another agent or bringing back its report.

Command for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: argument-hint in frontmatter. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md; names the AskUserQuestion tool; mentions Claude Code.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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 15d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 407 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Handoff - Brief for Another Agent

Produce ONE message the user copies into another agent. That agent has NO context: not this conversation, not the task, not even which repo. The brief must be complete on its own.

  • The brief is the deliverable - review nothing yourself and edit no file of the repository (--fix is the one exception); --send / --open / --codex hand it on and bring the report back (Step 7)
  • --execute turns a plan's brief from "review this" into "implement this": the receiving agent writes code and commits, this session still edits nothing (Step 5b)
  • --fix applies the report's verified fixes in THIS session when nothing needs deciding (7.4, the apply-fixes skill); the user typing it is the write authorization for that run - edits only, never a commit
  • Target selectors mirror /lets:review, so the same flag reviews here or hands off there; works in any git repo, with or without LETS

IMPORTANT: If the spec below invokes any deferred tool (e.g. AskUserQuestion), you MUST load and call it as specified. Never skip the call, never substitute a default answer of your own — the tool invocation is part of the contract. This is critical.

Usage

/lets:handoff                      # infer the target from context; asks only if genuinely ambiguous
/lets:handoff <PR-url-or-number>   # GitHub or Bitbucket PR
/lets:handoff --pr <id-or-url>     # alias of the bare form above
/lets:handoff --local              # uncommitted changes
/lets:handoff --staged             # staged changes only
/lets:handoff --last-commit        # last commit
/lets:handoff --branch             # full branch vs the merge branch (three-dot, like a PR)
/lets:handoff --plan               # newest plan in .lets/plans/
/lets:handoff --plan <path>        # a specific plan file
/lets:handoff --file <path>        # one file
/lets:handoff --commits <N>        # handoff-only: the last N commits (a fix round)
/lets:handoff --range <a>..<b>     # handoff-only: an explicit range
/lets:handoff --spec <path>        # what the reviewer judges against (or a bare task id)
/lets:handoff --spec none          # deliberately no spec - no spec line, no caveat
/lets:handoff --plan --codex              # run the brief through Codex headless (read-only), relay + verify its report
/lets:handoff --branch --send             # type the brief into an agent tab of this worktree (pick one)
/lets:handoff --branch --send antigravity # ... the Antigravity tab (an agent name, or a fragment of the tab title)
/lets:handoff --plan --open               # a new Codex tab (read-only) in this worktree gets the brief
/lets:handoff --execute --send codex      # the open Codex tab implements the newest plan of this task
/lets:handoff --execute --plan <path> --send   # ... a specific plan; pick the tab
/lets:handoff --branch --codex --fix      # ... then apply the verified fixes here when nothing needs deciding

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.
