session-handoff

session-handoff is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from aaronartistzhang-afk/DailyWork. It costs 193 tokens per session (1,531 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A handoff format for passing unfinished coding work from one session to another on the same computer. It records the current state, next action, and decision needed in a standard note.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps continue debugging, implementation, or other coding work later by creating a three-line status header and a detailed HANDOFF.md file.
Why use it?
It prevents the next session from having to reconstruct what was fixed, what remains, and what choices are pending.

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

session-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 11d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 109 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

session-handoff — passing work between sessions on one machine

Hand the work in this session's hands to another session, or to this same person's next session.

Core principle: the receiver must see "fixed or not fixed?" at first glance. A handoff is not a work log — it's a status note that lets someone decide the next step within three lines.

When to use

  • You need to pass live work to another running session, or write it for your own next session.
  • You're wrapping up and want to leave a "here's where I got to."

Not for:

  • Dispatching subagents / parallel tasks → that's a parallel-agent dispatch skill. Handoff ≠ dispatch: a handoff moves existing context to a session that already exists; dispatch constructs the context a new agent needs.
  • Sending a message to a person (teammate, boss, engineer) → use an audience-tailored message skill.
  • Session timeout / reconnect — that's a connection problem, not a handoff.

Output 1: HANDOFF.md

Write to the scratchpad directory by default; --out <path> for elsewhere. Six sections — a missing section is worse than a wrong one:

Section What goes in
What changed Per file: absolute path + what changed + why
Unfinished Which step is missing, what the next step concretely is (not "look into it more")
Landmines Traps you hit, paths not to retread, inputs known to blow up
git snapshot See section 2 — all four items, with a timestamp
Not my turf Things in this worktree/repo that I did not change, and whose they are
Evidence strength Tag only the key calls, four levels: measured / read the code / inferred / unverified

Don't tag evidence strength line by line — tagging every line is the same as tagging none; it just drowns the receiver. Tag only the calls where "if this is wrong, the receiver walks a wasted mile."

2. git snapshot (four steps, run each — don't write from memory)

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.
