read-handoff

read-handoff is a skill for Claude Code from aiya000/dotfiles. It costs 72 tokens per session (1,129 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A session handoff reader that finds the newest saved note for the current project and treats it as the instructions for the new session. A handoff note is a short record of what was done and what should happen next.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps continue interrupted coding work, identify the correct project note, and read the whole handoff before taking action. It can also read a specific path or project name when supplied.
Why use it?
It lets a new session resume work without asking the user to find or paste the previous note. It reports when no suitable note exists instead of guessing.

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

read-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 1mo 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 — 81 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

read-handoff

Picks up where the last session stopped. The user should not have to supply a path.

The last session left two files, not one, both in the ~/.ai-memory/ git repository: the handoff under handoff/, and a memory file that the handoff names. Both get read, in that order. The repository is shared by the local machine and Claude Code cloud sessions, so the handoff may have been written on the other side.

First: the issue overview

Before looking for the handoff, run the show-issues-overview skill and show its table.

It is the one thing here that reflects the world as it is now. The handoff and the memory were both written in the past, so the overview is what they get checked against -- an Issue the handoff calls 未解決 may already be closed, and something new may have been opened since.

  • Run it with no arguments -- the open issues are what matters at the start of a session
  • If it cannot produce a list (no forge, not authenticated, no TODO file), do not stop -- say so in one line and carry on to the handoff. The overview is context, not a gate

Finding the file

  1. Get the repository level with the sync-memory skill (prepare) -- a pull, or in a cloud session a clone. Without it, a handoff written on the other machine is not there yet. The directory is ~/.ai-memory/handoff/. Handoffs written before the move to the repository live in the old local places, ~/tmp/claude-handoff/ and ${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/claude-handoff/: look there too, and take the newest across all of them. If prepare says ~/.ai-memory is not set up, use the old places alone and say so

  2. Work out the project the same way it does:

    common=$(git rev-parse --path-format=absolute --git-common-dir 2>/dev/null)
    project=$( [ -n "$common" ] && basename "$(dirname "$common")" || basename "$PWD" )
    
  3. Take the last of <project>-*.md sorted by name -- the names carry the timestamp

  4. If there is none for this project, take the newest *.md in the directory and say which project it was written for before acting on it

  5. If there is nothing at all, say so and list what the directory does hold. Do not guess

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.
