handover

handover is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from chacosoldier/compabob. It costs 43 tokens per session (309 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A handover-note workflow that records what was completed, what remains open, and what the next session should do.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when wrapping up a coding session or before stopping work. It saves the note to `.tmp/handover.md` for the next session.
Why use it?
It prevents a later work session from losing important context, unfinished work, or fragile assumptions.

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

handover 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.

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

Handover

Persist session context so the next session starts oriented instead of cold.

Steps

  1. Summarize the session: what was worked on, what was decided, what was finished.
  2. Capture the open thread: what is in progress, the exact next step, and any state that matters (a branch name, a file mid-edit, a blocked decision).
  3. Note anything fragile: a test that is failing, an assumption not yet verified, a thing that will break if forgotten.
  4. Write the note to .tmp/handover.md. The hook-session-start.sh hook reads this file at the start of the next session and injects it automatically.

Format

# Handover — <date> <time>

## Done this session
- ...

## In progress
- [the open thread, with the exact next step]

## Watch out for
- [anything fragile or unverified]

## Next step
[one sentence: what to do first next session]

After writing, confirm in one line: "Handover saved to .tmp/handover.md." If durable facts surfaced (not session state, but lasting knowledge), also propose memory writes per the constitution.

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.
