handoff

handoff is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from arimet/handoff. It costs 217 tokens per session (1,721 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An interactive quiz for developers after a coding agent completes a feature or code change.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review a conversation and code diff, answer questions one at a time, and receive a score with areas to revisit.
Why use it?
It checks whether you understand where the code is, why key decisions were made, and what could break before shipping it.

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 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/suggest-quiz.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 155 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Handoff — verify you understood Claude's code

When Claude builds a feature, it is easy to merge the result without truly reading or understanding it. handoff turns passive review into an active check: it interviews the developer to confirm they read the code (where the logic lives) and understood it (why decisions were made, how it behaves), then reports a score and the spots to revisit.

This skill conducts an interactive quiz. Ask questions one at a time and wait for an answer before continuing. Conduct the entire quiz in the developer's language (match the language they are writing in).

Step 1 — Gather the material (hybrid source)

Build the quiz from two complementary sources:

  1. Conversation context — what was built this session: the files touched, the key decisions and trade-offs, what was deliberately NOT done, and what could plausibly break. This is the source for the "why".

  2. Git diff (when available) — to objectively anchor "where" and check that nothing important is missed. Run:

    • git rev-parse --git-dir to confirm a repo exists.
    • git diff --stat then git diff (covers unstaged + staged) to enumerate changed files and lines. Use real file:line locations from this diff.

    If there is no git repo, degrade gracefully and rely on conversation context alone — still produce a useful quiz.

Step 2 — Calibrate the number of questions

Scale to the size of the change (use the diff stat, or your best estimate from context if there is no git):

Change size Questions
Small (< ~50 lines, or 1–2 files) 3
Medium 5
Large (> ~300 lines, or ≥ 5 files) 8–10

Step 3 — Generate a mixed question set

Cover both reading and understanding. Mix these types:

  • Where (multiple choice). "Which file/function contains X?" Provide plausible distractors drawn from other real files in the change.
  • Why (open-ended). "Why was approach X chosen over Y?", "What trade-off does this make?", "What would have broken if we hadn't done Z?"
  • Behavior (multiple choice or open). "If input X arrives, what happens?", "How would you debug it if X fails?"

What ships with it

3 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.

handoff is a skill published in the GitHub repository arimet/handoff (27 stars, last pushed 12d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 217 tokens to every session and 1,721 once invoked, about $0.0011 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
