handoff-go

handoff-go is a skill for Claude Code from atman-33/workhub. It costs 43 tokens per session (789 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A handoff tool that records the current task in a document and starts another coding agent to continue it. A handoff passes context from one agent session to the next.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when transferring unfinished work to another agent, including the current status, relevant artifact paths, and skills the next agent should use.
Why use it?
It reduces the chance that the next agent will miss decisions, files, constraints, or suggested tools.

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-go 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 5d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (dispatch.mjs), 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 — 51 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Hand off the current conversation and start the next agent in one go: write the handoff document, then dispatch.mjs launches a fresh claude that reads it and continues. The baton leaves your hand and the next runner is already moving.

You write the document (judgment). dispatch.mjs owns the deterministic rest — environment detection, the initial prompt, the A→B→C fallback, and shell-safe launching.

Step 1 — Write the handoff document

Write a handoff document summarising the current conversation so a fresh agent can continue the work. Save it to the OS temporary directory — not the workspace. Capture its absolute path.

  • Include a "suggested skills" section listing skills the next agent should invoke.
  • Do not duplicate content already captured in other artifacts (PRDs, plans, ADRs, issues, commits, diffs); reference them by path or URL.
  • Redact sensitive information (API keys, passwords, PII).
  • Treat the skill arguments as a description of what the next session will focus on, and tailor the document to it.

Done when: the document is saved, its absolute path is captured, secrets are redacted, and a "suggested skills" section is present.

Step 2 — Dispatch

Run the dispatcher using its absolute path — do NOT cd into the skill directory first. Always pass --cwd set to the current session working directory (the project root, not the skill directory):

node "<absolute path to dispatch.mjs>" --doc "<absolute doc path>" --instructions "<the user's supplementary instructions from the arguments>" --cwd "<current session working directory>"

The dispatcher script is located inside the installed skill directory. Construct its absolute path from the known plugin cache location, e.g.: C:\Users\<user>\.claude\plugins\cache\workhub-marketplace\agent-ops\<version>\skills\handoff-go\dispatch.mjs

Options: --cwd <dir> (required — set to the current working directory of this session), --layout pane|tab (default pane), --dry-run (print what would run without launching).

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-go is a skill published in the GitHub repository atman-33/workhub (2 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 43 tokens to every session and 789 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-09-03.
