handoff-load

handoff-load is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from alphaelements/handoff-mcp. It costs 62 tokens per session (868 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A skill for loading handoff notes from the current project so an agent can resume earlier work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when resuming a project, reviewing what remains, or deciding what to work on next.
Why use it?
It brings back previous decisions, tasks, blockers, deadlines, and session details instead of starting without 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

handoff-load 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 4d 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.

What it actually says

Handoff Load

セッション開始時にプロジェクトの引き継ぎコンテキストを読み込み、現状を把握する。

手順

  1. handoff_load_context を呼ぶ(引数なし — cwd を使用)
  2. not_initialized が返った場合:
    • ディレクトリ名からプロジェクト名を推測
    • handoff_init で初期化
    • 初期化完了を報告して終了
  3. paused セッションがある場合:
    • paused_sessions をユーザーに表示(ID, summary, branch)
    • 再開したい場合: handoff_load_context(session_id: "s-...") で paused → active に遷移
    • 不要な場合: handoff_save_context(close_session_id: "s-...") で paused → closed に直接遷移
  4. session_guidance がある場合(アクティブセッション未確立):
    • 作業開始前に handoff_save_contextsession_status: "active" で呼んでセッションを確立する
    • session_guidance.suggested_fields の内容(summary, decisions, context_pointers, references, related_task_ids)を引き継いで含める
    • handoff_notes に最低1つ suggestion(これから何をするか)を含める
    • これにより中断時にも「何をしようとしていたか」が .handoff/ に残る
  5. 返されたコンテキストを以下の順で確認・要約:
    • 前回セッション / previous_session: summary, branch, commit, ended_at。引き継ぎ情報(decisions, handoff_notes, context_pointers)を確認
    • タスク: blockedin_progresstodo の優先順で表示
    • 工数サマリー: total_estimate_hours, total_actual_hours, completion_rate, overdue_count を報告
    • 期限超過: overdue_count > 0 なら該当タスクを強調
    • ブロッカー: あれば強調表示
    • 決定事項: confidence が unverified のものを警告
    • 申し送り: caution を最初に、contextsuggestion の順
    • コンテキストポインタ: 次に読むべきファイル一覧
  6. 関連ドキュメントの確認:
    • in_progress タスクにリンクされたドキュメントがあれば、フックの handoff_doc_queryUserPromptSubmit/PreToolUse)が自動注入する — セッション開始時点で明示的に呼ぶ必要はない
    • 特定のセクションだけ読みたい場合は handoff_doc_get(doc_id, format="fragment", seq=N) を手動で呼ぶ(outline 注入で見出し一覧だけ渡された場合など)
    • ドキュメント管理の詳細(段階的注入・家系図・インポート手順)は handoff-docs スキルを参照
  7. ユーザーに現状サマリーを日本語で報告
  8. 次のアクションを提案(「何から始めますか?」)
Files

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
