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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00028 | $0.00897 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00011 | $0.00359 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00179 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00090 |
Grade A, and why
context-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 19d 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 100 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Context Handoff
Create one compact, source-grounded checkpoint so another session can resume without relying on conversation memory.
When to use
Use this skill only when the task is unfinished and one of these is true:
- the session is approaching its context limit;
- the work spans multiple phases or will continue in another session; or
- the user asks to pause, hand off, or resume later.
Do not create handoffs for short tasks that are already complete.
Write the checkpoint
-
Read
AGENTS.md, then inspectgit status --short, the relevant diff, the change'sdecisions.mdand the other decision sources inimplement-task's## Decision sources, and the relevant wiki page or test output. Source and fresh command output are authoritative; conversation memory is not. -
For a change, create
handoff.mdin its change folder; if one already exists, overwrite it with the current state. For work that belongs to no change, create the handoff atdocs/agent-devkit/handoffs/YYYY-MM-DD-<slug>.md, named perusing-devkit's## Shared rules. Use this structure:# Handoff: <task> ## Objective <The user-visible outcome still being pursued> ## State - Phase: <brainstorm | plan | implement | debug | verify | document> - Current task: <first `tasks.md` task not `done`, or none> - Approval: <`tasks.md` gate status | Bounded design approved YYYY-MM-DD — <one-line design> | none> - Status: <what is complete and what is in progress> ## Decisions - <D<n> summary and source artifact link, or None> ## Evidence - `<command>` — <result and exit status> ## Changed files - `<path>` — <why it changed, or "user change"> ## Remaining work - <smallest next actions, in order> ## Risks and blockers - <known issue or "None"> ## Next action <The first concrete action for the next session> -
Keep the checkpoint factual and short. Do not claim a test, build, link, or requirement passes without fresh evidence. Do not copy secrets or full logs; record the command and relevant result instead.
-
For a standalone handoff, if
docs/agent-devkit/INDEX.mdexists, add it under a## Handoffssection. A change'shandoff.mdneeds no separate entry; the change folder's own index entry covers it. Do not create a second index. -
Run
git diff --checkand read the created checkpoint before stopping.
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.

context-handoff is a skill published in the GitHub repository asta-nguyen/kamehadb (14 stars, last pushed 10d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 28 tokens to every session and 897 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-10-05.
