handover-resume

handover-resume is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from 44-pixels/handover-mcp. It costs 62 tokens per session (737 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A skill for finding and continuing a saved Handover record, which stores work context so another agent or model can resume it.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to resume work from a Handover link, name, or identifier, switch agents without losing state, retrieve report files, or add a new revision.
Why use it?
It avoids rebuilding the task from a conversation transcript and checks that the correct account and workspace are being used before retrieving 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

handover-resume 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 9d 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.

Resume context from Handover

Continue the canonical record instead of reconstructing work from a transcript.

Requires a configured Handover MCP connection or the handover-sh CLI with an authenticated Handover identity.

Select the interface

Prefer Handover MCP tools. Fall back to the handover CLI. If neither is configured, direct the user to https://handover.sh/install?utm_source=agent_skill&utm_medium=workflow&utm_campaign=handover_resume_skill.

Verify identity and scope

  • MCP: call handover.whoami.
  • CLI: run handover whoami --json.

Confirm the intended account and workspace before searching. An empty result can be correct when the identity lacks access; do not bypass it with a copied URL, author name, or organization parameter.

Use only the smallest workspace scope needed for the requested record. Never print, copy into artifacts, or ask the user to paste credentials or tokens. If access is denied, preserve the boundary and report it instead of switching to a broader identity.

Resolve the canonical record

  1. If given a Handover URL, slug, or identifier, open that exact record.
  2. Otherwise search distinctive nouns, identifiers, filenames, and decisions with handover.search or handover search "<query>" --json.
  3. When several records match, prefer the active canonical record with the newest relevant revision. Ask before choosing when intent remains ambiguous.
  4. Read the current revision, artifacts, thread, and open annotations.
  5. Download or read original artifacts needed to verify claims.

With the CLI:

handover show <handover-id> --json
handover pull <slug-or-url> --out <directory> --json

Produce a resume brief

Before acting, state:

  • objective;
  • verified current state;
  • decisions already made;
  • evidence inspected;
  • unresolved annotations and assignments;
  • constraints and risks;
  • next action;
  • current revision identifier.

Clearly label assumptions and missing evidence.

Continue safely

Use handover.continue with the current expectedRevisionId. This optimistic concurrency check prevents overwriting another actor's newer 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.
