check

check is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ApurvBazari/claude-plugins. It costs 82 tokens per session (1,185 once invoked), scanned D, original, MIT.

A read-only check for the saved handoff in a project. It reports whether one exists, when it was saved, which Git branch and commit it refers to, and whether the project has changed since then.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect handoff status, progress after the save point, snooze settings, and project configuration without changing files.
Why use it?
It helps explain why a saved handoff is or is not appearing and shows whether the saved work is still current.

Installs and runs on its own, but its text points at files inside its plugin — anything it tells you to read at a ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} path is only there once the plugin is installed. Installing the plugin gets both.

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 D, and why

check scanned grade D with 2 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 3d 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.

Tells the agent never to refusehighAnti-refusal

Suppressing the ability to decline removes a core safety control; a later harmful request then succeeds.

- **Cwd mismatch is informational, not fatal** — surface it but don't refuse to report.

Reads agent configuration directoriesmediumAgent snooping

.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.

If the body is longer than 12 lines, append "*(truncated — run `cat .claude/handoff/active.md` for the full directive)*".

Check Skill — Handoff Health Check

You are running a read-only health check for the handoff plugin in the current project. No files are modified.

Step 1: Check for an active handoff

Look for .claude/handoff/active.md. Two paths:

No file present

Report:

No active handoff in this project.

  • Save one with /handoff:save or by saying "save handoff" / "pick this up later".
  • Settings file: <exists | absent> at .claude/handoff/settings.md.

If .claude/handoff/settings.md exists, mention it; otherwise note "no settings file → defaults apply".

File present

Parse the frontmatter and compute progress signals.

Step 2: Compute progress signals

# Eval-safety (audit finding M2): compute-progress.sh emits every value via
# `printf '%q'`, so re-evaluation here cannot perform command substitution even
# when a field (e.g. retention_value) is read from caller-controlled settings.md
# frontmatter. The contract is regression-pinned by tests/handoff/test_compute_progress.sh,
# whose adversarial canary cases assert injected `$(...)`/backticks do NOT execute.
eval "$(bash "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/compute-progress.sh" "$(pwd)")"
# Exports: days_old, current_branch, commits_past, cwd_match,
#          snooze_remaining, archive_count, retention_value

The helper always exits 0; missing values emit as unknown. Also read stale-commit-threshold and stale-day-threshold from .claude/handoff/settings.md for the Step 3 report (configuration, not computed signals).

Step 3: Report

Present a structured report (markdown table, single block):

Handoff status — .claude/handoff/active.md is active

Field Value
Saved at <saved-at> (<days-old> days ago)
Saved-at SHA <short-sha>
Saved-at branch <branch>
Saved-from cwd <path>
Current cwd <pwd> (`<match
Current branch <branch>
Commits past saved-at <n>
Snooze <status>
Settings file `<exists
Archive retention <value> (default 10)
Archive count <n> files in .claude/handoff/archive/

Will surface at next SessionStart? <yes | no — reason>

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.

check is a skill published in the GitHub repository ApurvBazari/claude-plugins (0 stars, last pushed 27d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 82 tokens to every session and 1,185 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it D with 2 findings (tells the agent never to refuse, reads agent configuration directories). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
