A session summary for passing unfinished work to another developer or a later coding session.

Use it at the end of a work session or before switching agents to document project status and recommended next steps.

It prevents lost context when work is paused, handed over, or interrupted. It records completed tasks, remaining work, blockers, decisions, and uncommitted changes.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

agentmods

npx agentmods add commands/srstomp/pokayokay/handoff

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/srstomp/pokayokay

Or install pokayokay, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 17 skills, 23 commands, 14 agents, 4 hooks, 1 MCP server.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5	$0.00009	$0.01235
Opus 5	$0.00005	$0.00617
Sonnet 5	$0.00002	$0.00247
Haiku 4.5	$0.00001	$0.00123

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 3d 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.

Session Handoff Workflow

Summarize current session and prepare context for the next session or agent.

When to Use

End of work session
Before context compaction
Handing off to different agent/person
Pausing work for later

Steps

1. Summarize Completed Work

List what was accomplished:

npx @stevestomp/ohno-cli tasks --status done

2. Document Current State

For any in-progress task:

npx @stevestomp/ohno-cli tasks --status in_progress

Note:

What's been done on it
What remains
Any decisions made
Any blockers

3. Check for Uncommitted Work

git status
git diff --stat

If uncommitted changes exist:

Commit with descriptive message, OR
Document what the changes are for

4. Write Handoff Notes

Use ohno MCP to update session notes with:

## Session Summary [DATE]

### Completed
- [task-id]: [brief description]

### In Progress
- [task-id]: [what's done, what remains]

### Blockers
- [any blockers encountered]

### Decisions Made
- [any architectural or implementation decisions]

### Next Steps
- [recommended next task]
- [any context the next session needs]

4.1 Skill Usage Summary

Document which skills were used and their outcomes:

## Skills Used This Session

| Skill | Tasks | Notes |
|-------|-------|-------|
| api-design | T001, T003 | Designed user endpoints |
| testing-strategy | T002 | Set up Playwright E2E |
| spike | T005 | GO decision on D1 |

### Skills Recommended But Not Used
- security-audit (auth changes were made)
- observability (new API endpoints lack logging)

4.2 Ad-Hoc Work Tracking

Document work done outside planned tasks:

## Ad-Hoc Work

| Type | Description | Time | Task Created? |
|------|-------------|------|---------------|
| Bug fix | Fixed login redirect | 20 min | Yes (T045) |
| Refactor | Extracted auth util | 15 min | No |
| Research | Looked up Prisma syntax | 10 min | No |

If significant ad-hoc work (> 30 min total):

Create tasks retroactively for tracking
Note patterns for future planning
Suggest /pokayokay:review for pattern analysis

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.
