handoff-grok

handoff-grok is a skill for Claude Code from claude-world/director-mode-lite. It costs 56 tokens per session (360 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A handoff method for moving an unfinished coding task to xAI Grok Build through a shared written packet. The packet records the goal, decisions, Git state, checks performed, and next steps.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when Grok should review or take over work started in Claude Code or Codex CLI.
Why use it?
A new coding agent cannot rely on another vendor's private session history. The packet gives Grok the information needed to continue the work.

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-grok 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 11d 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

Handoff to Grok Build

Use the session-relay workflow so Grok receives the goal, decisions, Git state, verification, and next steps without relying on another vendor's native session ID.

ROOT="${CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR:-${GROK_WORKSPACE_ROOT:-}}"
[[ -n "$ROOT" ]] || ROOT="$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel 2>/dev/null || pwd)"
RELAY="$ROOT/.director-mode/bin/director-relay"
[[ -x "$RELAY" ]] || RELAY="$HOME/.claude/bin/director-relay"

"$RELAY" create \
  --from <claude|codex> --to grok \
  --goal "..." --summary "..." --next "..."

"$RELAY" continue --to grok

The second command prints an interactive Grok command. Add --run only when the user wants it launched immediately, or --headless for grok -p.

Grok also supports grok import for Claude Code sessions and automatically reads Claude-compatible project assets. Treat those as a Claude→Grok shortcut, not as a universal session format; keep the portable packet for three-way work.

Grok's approvals, permission rules, sandbox, network access, and hook trust stay under Grok's native configuration. This skill does not change them.

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.
