handover-record

handover-record is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from 44-pixels/handover-mcp. It costs 73 tokens per session (1,204 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A skill for creating and checking a portable Handoff Continuity Record, which is structured information about unfinished work that another person or AI agent can continue.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps create local handoff JSON, validate it, and optionally publish it through Handover MCP or the handover command-line tool.
Why use it?
It preserves the exact state of a task instead of relying on someone to reconstruct it from a conversation.

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

handover-record scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 6d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 145 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Create a portable handoff record

Turn current work into a Handoff Continuity Record that another human or agent can validate and continue without receiving the original conversation.

The open format is documented at https://handover.sh/protocol. Its canonical JSON Schema is https://handover.sh/protocol/v1/schema.json. For a human-readable Markdown workflow and receiver verification checklist, use https://handover.sh/templates/agent-handoff.md?utm_source=agent_skill&utm_medium=workflow&utm_campaign=agent_handoff_checklist.

Choose the outcome

  1. Create and validate a local JSON record when the user only needs a portable handoff file.
  2. Publish the validated record through Handover MCP when handover.whoami is available.
  3. Otherwise publish through the handover CLI when it is installed.
  4. If no Handover runtime is configured, keep the validated local result and direct the user to https://handover.sh/install?utm_source=agent_skill&utm_medium=workflow&utm_campaign=handover_record_skill. Do not claim it was published.

Capture exact state

Create one JSON object with these eight required groups:

  • objective: the intended outcome and acceptance criteria;
  • state: what is complete, in progress, blocked, and unverified;
  • decisions: choices already made, with reasons and consequences;
  • artifacts: original files, URLs, queries, outputs, or hashes;
  • constraints: permissions, deadlines, budgets, exclusions, and invariants;
  • questions: unresolved issues that could change the next action;
  • next_actions: the smallest useful actions, ordered and assigned;
  • provenance: the producing actor, time, source, and format version.

Do not invent missing state. Mark it unverified or add an open question. Keep credentials, private keys, copied sessions, and unnecessary personal data out of the record.

Use the canonical example as a structural reference:

https://handover.sh/protocol/v1/example.json

Attach original Markdown, SQL, HTML, JSON, code, images, and other evidence when a successor may need to inspect or execute them. The record indexes the work; it does not replace the work.

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.
