reset-handoff

reset-handoff is a command for coding agents from vanzan01/claude-code-sub-agent-collective. It costs 0 tokens per session (402 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command for resetting the temporary files and logs used by an agent handoff system, which passes work between agents.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when handoffs loop or get stuck, before a fresh workflow, or while debugging handoff behavior. It removes handoff state files and a temporary log.
Why use it?
It clears stuck or outdated delegation state so a new handoff can start with clean context.

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

reset-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

Reset Agent Handoff Workflow

Reset the agent handoff system by cleaning up state files and logs.

What This Does

Clears all handoff-related state files so you can start a fresh agent workflow:

  • Removes .claude/handoff/NEXT_ACTION.json (pending delegation context)
  • Clears handoff logs in /tmp/test-driven-handoff.log
  • Resets any stuck delegation state
  • Prepares for clean workflow restart

Usage

# Remove handoff context files
rm -f .claude/handoff/NEXT_ACTION.json

# Clear handoff logs  
> /tmp/test-driven-handoff.log

# Optional: Clear any other temp handoff files
rm -f .claude/handoff/*.json

When to Use

  • Stuck Handoffs: When delegation gets stuck or loops
  • Fresh Start: Before beginning new agent workflow
  • Testing: Between test runs to ensure clean state
  • Debugging: When investigating handoff issues

Files Cleaned

  • .claude/handoff/NEXT_ACTION.json - Current delegation context
  • /tmp/test-driven-handoff.log - Hook execution logs
  • .claude/handoff/*.json - Any other handoff state files

Safe Operation

This only removes temporary state files, never:

  • TaskMaster data (.taskmaster/tasks/)
  • Agent definitions (.claude/agents/)
  • Hook scripts (.claude/hooks/)
  • Project files or code

Verification

After reset, verify clean state:

ls .claude/handoff/     # Should be empty or not exist
tail /tmp/test-driven-handoff.log  # Should be empty

Quick one-liner for complete reset:

rm -f .claude/handoff/*.json && > /tmp/test-driven-handoff.log && echo "Handoff workflow reset complete"
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.
