handoff CLAUDE.md

handoff CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for coding agents from AbdurRafay2004/handoff. It costs 2,026 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of instructions for working on the Handoff Claude Code plugin, which provides project memory and a development workflow through hook scripts. Hooks are scripts that run automatically at defined points during development.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when editing Handoff's hook scripts, workflow, skills, templates, or tests, especially when maintaining its sequencing rules and project-memory behavior.
Why use it?
It explains how the plugin's parts connect and records rules that must remain intact when changing or testing its hooks and workflow skills.

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 CLAUDE.md 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 this repo is

This repo is a Claude Code plugin named handoff. It is not an application. It ships a hook-driven project-memory system plus an owned development workflow layer that other repos install. There is no build step and no dependency tree — the deliverable is Python hook scripts (stdlib only), a skill set, and a template tree. CI (.github/workflows/ci.yml) runs the stdlib smoke tests in tests/test_hooks.py on every push/PR.

The skill set (v1.2.0+): setup (scaffolding), workflow (the 6-phase, risk-tiered pipeline — the constitution that owns sequencing), and thirteen technique skills (brief, plan, design, tdd, debug, architecture, delegate, verify-done, security, browser-qa, ship, learn, grill-me) forked from MIT-licensed superpowers, mattpocock-skills, gstack, and rampstack-skills with all cross-pack orchestration stripped (see ATTRIBUTION.md). When editing a technique skill, never reintroduce pack-style enforcement preambles or cross-skill process handoffs — workflow alone decides sequencing and tiering.

Do not confuse the two layers:

  • The plugin (hooks/, skills/, .claude-plugin/) — what a developer installs into their Claude Code. Editing here changes behavior for every repo that uses it.
  • The templates/ tree — the payload the setup skill copies into a target repo as .handoff/. This is committed to the target repo so memory travels with the code. Editing here changes what newly-set-up repos get; it does not affect already-set-up repos.

Runtime model (how the pieces connect)

Everything is driven by three hooks registered in hooks/hooks.json (auto-loaded because it lives at hooks/hooks.json — the plugin manifest deliberately does not declare a hooks field; see commit 1844000). Each hook is a thin python3 entry that imports shared logic from hooks/_common.py:

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.
