session-handoff is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ArabelaTso/Skills-4-SE. It costs 32 tokens per session (717 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A structured handoff document for recording the current state of an AI-assisted coding session. It captures completed work, remaining tasks, decisions, blockers, and important files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to prepare a clear continuation note for unfinished coding work, team handoffs, or switching between models and tools.
Why use it?
It reduces the context lost when a long session ends, the context limit is reached, or work moves to another person or AI tool.

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 9d 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.

Session Handoff

Generates a detailed handoff document capturing the current state of work, enabling seamless continuation in a fresh AI session.

When to Use This Skill

  • Ending a long coding session that will continue later
  • Switching between AI tools or models mid-task
  • Context window approaching limits, need a fresh session
  • Handing off work to a teammate (human or AI)

What This Skill Does

Generate a structured handoff document with:

1. Current State Summary

## Session Summary

**Task**: [What was being worked on]
**Branch**: [Current git branch]
**Status**: [In progress / Blocked / Ready for review]
**Started**: [When work began]

2. What Was Done

## Completed Work

1. [Task 1] — [files changed, what was done]
2. [Task 2] — [files changed, what was done]

### Key Decisions Made
- Chose X over Y because [reason]
- Used pattern Z from [existing file] for consistency

3. What Remains

## Remaining Work

1. [ ] [Next task] — [specific files, what to do]
2. [ ] [Following task] — [dependencies, approach]

### Blockers
- [Any blocking issues with context]

4. Relevant Context

## Key Files
- `src/auth/oauth.ts` — Main implementation file (modified)
- `src/auth/types.ts` — Type definitions (new)
- `tests/auth/oauth.test.ts` — Tests (partially written)

## Patterns to Follow
- Auth middleware pattern from `src/middleware/jwt.ts`
- Error handling style from `src/errors/`

## Gotchas Discovered
- The `UserService` caches aggressively — clear cache after auth changes
- Test DB needs `--runInBand` flag to avoid connection pool exhaustion

## Commands
- Build: `npm run build`
- Test: `npm test -- --runInBand`
- Verify: `npm run typecheck`

5. Continuation Instructions

## How to Continue

1. Read this handoff document
2. Check `git status` and `git log -5 --oneline` for current state
3. Start with [specific next task]
4. Reference [specific file] for the pattern to follow

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.
