save

save is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ApurvBazari/claude-plugins. It costs 62 tokens per session (1,600 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A session handoff skill that records the current work so another coding session can continue later. A handoff is a short note describing the task, progress, and next steps.

In plain words
What is it for?
Saving a resumable handoff in .claude/handoff/active.md when you ask to save or continue the work later.
Why use it?
It prevents important context from being lost when a session ends.

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

save 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 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.

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.

Save Skill — Capture Session Intent for Handoff

You are auto-invoked when the user signals end-of-session, or invoked explicitly via /handoff:save. Capture what the next session needs to pick up, then write it to .claude/handoff/active.md.

Step 1: Determine invocation mode

Trigger Mode
User typed /handoff:save (explicit) Direct mode — skip the confirm step in Step 2; proceed straight to Step 3
Auto-invocation on NL trigger phrase Confirm mode — run Step 2 before anything else

If unsure, default to Confirm mode — a single AskUserQuestion is always safer than a silent false-positive save.

Step 2: Confirm before saving (Confirm mode only)

Ask the user via AskUserQuestion (single-select, 3 options):

  • Save now (Recommended) — "I'll draft a directive from the current session and write it to .claude/handoff/active.md immediately."
  • Edit before saving — "I'll draft a directive, show it to you, let you edit, then write."
  • Cancel — "Don't save. I'll continue the current task."

If Cancel: exit silently. Do not write anything. If Save now or Edit before saving: proceed to Step 3.

Step 3: Synthesize the directive

Draft a directive (3-6 bullets or short prose) capturing what the next session must know to pick up cleanly. Pull from the current conversation context.

Include:

  1. What to pick up — the concrete next step (one sentence, action-oriented).
  2. Pointers — memory files, key source paths, git refs, PR numbers worth reading first.
  3. Constraints — what NOT to do (decisions already made, scope guards, "don't relitigate X").
  4. State expectations — what should be true at resume (e.g., "PR #50 is open against develop, do not push").
  5. Open questions — if any are unresolved and the next session needs to handle them.

Style rules:

  • Directive prose only. Do NOT embed state that the next session can derive — git log will tell them current commits / branch / working-tree status; memory files will tell them prior context. Capture intent, not snapshots.
  • Use present-tense imperative addressing the future Claude instance: "Read <memory> first", "Do NOT push without confirming".
  • Length budget: under 400 words. If you need more, the directive is doing too much.
  • If the user is in the middle of a multi-step task with a written plan, point to the plan rather than restating it.

What ships with it

2 files 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.
