A session handoff checklist for recording project state before ending a work session, changing agents, pausing, or losing conversation context.

In plain words
What is it for?
It records completed and pending work, changed files, commands and results, feature status, known risks, decisions, and precise next steps in the project's status documentation.

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 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.

What it actually says

Session Handoff(会话交接)

把有用项目状态保存在聊天上下文之外。

触发时机

以下情况使用这个 skill:

  • 一个工作 session 即将结束。
  • context 可能会压缩或重置。
  • 另一个 agent 或人类会继续工作。
  • worktree 里有有意义的未完成工作。

必读材料

  • AGENTS.md
  • docs/product.md
  • docs/architecture.md
  • docs/plans/active.md
  • feature_list.json
  • docs/status.md
  • docs/mistake-log.md
  • 当前改动文件或 git diff。
  • 本 session 的命令输出。

流程

  1. 识别已完成工作。
  2. 识别未完成工作。
  3. 记录当前 feature 状态和 evidence。
  4. 记录已运行命令和结果。
  5. 记录已知失败和风险。
  6. 记录本 session 做过的决策。
  7. 运行 ./scripts/clean-state.sh,或记录无法运行的原因。
  8. 更新 docs/status.md
  9. 给出精确的建议下一步。

产出

  • 更新后的 status。
  • 当前 feature 状态。
  • 改动文件摘要。
  • 验证证据。
  • 干净状态检查结果。
  • 已知风险。
  • 下一步动作。

边界

  • 如果 worktree 有未提交改动,不要声称状态干净。
  • 不要隐藏失败的检查。
  • 不要让未来工作依赖私有聊天上下文。
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.
