handoff-task-loop

handoff-task-loop is a plugin for Claude Code from alphaelements/handoff-mcp. Its manifest loads nothing; the 1 skill, 4 commands, 16 agents it bundles cost 947 tokens per session together, scanned A, original, MIT.

A plugin that runs a task workflow using handoff-mcp, a system for passing context between agent sessions. It combines parallel test-first implementation, adversarial testing, and architecture review.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to consume development tasks, implement them with TDD (writing tests around the change), test them from opposing angles, and review the resulting design.
Why use it?
It organizes repeated implementation and review work across separate agent sessions.

Security

Grade A, and why

handoff-task-loop 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 yesterday.

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 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.
