handoff

handoff is a skill for Claude Code from AshExplained/roblox-skills. It costs 65 tokens per session (670 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A handoff note that records the important context from a conversation so another agent or a later session can continue the work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when switching sessions, handing work to another agent, or summarizing a long planning, prototype, diagnosis, or implementation thread.
Why use it?
It prevents decisions, current progress, and unresolved questions from being lost when a session ends or the work moves elsewhere.

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 8d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 53 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Handoff

Write a concise handoff document so a fresh agent can continue from the current state without rereading the whole conversation.

When to use

  • User asks for /handoff, "handoff this", "handoff to /prototype", "handoff back", "summarize for next session", or "another agent should continue".
  • A long planning, prototype, diagnosis, or implementation thread is about to switch focus or end.
  • A side quest should run in another session and return with a compact verdict.

Process

  1. Identify the handoff target. If the user passed arguments, treat them as the next session's focus, such as /prototype, /tdd, or "back to grilling session".
  2. Create .scratch/handoffs/ if needed.
  3. Save the handoff as .scratch/handoffs/YYYY-MM-DD-<short-slug>.md. Use the current local date and a slug for the target or topic. If a file already exists, append a short numeric suffix rather than overwriting.
  4. Before writing, read any existing file at that path so you do not clobber prior notes.
  5. Write only the context the next agent actually needs.

Content

Include:

  • Goal: what the next session should do.
  • Current state: what has already been decided or done.
  • Key unresolved questions.
  • Relevant artifacts: PRDs, issues, ADRs, design docs, prototype paths, commits, diffs, URLs.
  • Suggested next skill or command.
  • Return instructions: what result should come back to this thread or parent skill.

Do not duplicate content already captured in PRDs, plans, ADRs, issues, commits, diffs, or prototype notes. Reference them by path or URL.

Patterns

  • "handoff to /prototype" -> explain the question the prototype must answer, the relevant app/module context, and that prototype output is disposable.
  • "handoff back" -> summarize what the side quest learned, where the artifact lives, and what decision can now be made.
  • "handoff to implementation" -> point at the approved PRD/issues/design artifacts and note remaining risks.

Anti-patterns

  • Do not turn the handoff into a full project history.
  • Do not write vague instructions like "continue the work"; name the next concrete move.
  • Do not put durable project decisions only in the handoff. If a decision belongs in CONTEXT.md, an ADR, an issue, or a PRD, put it there and link to it.

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.
