handoff

handoff is a skill for Claude Code from DanialDaeHyunNam/omniscitus. It costs 88 tokens per session (1,336 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A continuation-prompt generator for carrying unfinished work into a new coding session. The prompt includes the current task context and points to saved session history.

In plain words
What is it for?
Run it after wrapping up and before clearing the session. Copy its prompt into the next session to resume the same work.
Why use it?
Starting a new session can otherwise lose important decisions, progress, and remaining tasks. It gives the next session information it needs to continue.

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 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 10d 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.

Handoff — Continuation Prompt for the Next Session

Produce a single, copy-paste-ready prompt that lets a fresh session (after /clear) continue this work with all the context this session accumulated.

This skill does not clear the context itself — that is a user action. It hands you the perfect prompt to paste into the next session. The flow is:

/handoff  →  copy the printed block  →  /clear  →  paste

When to Use

  • User types /handoff
  • User says "핸드오프", "인계 프롬프트", "다음 세션 이어가게 프롬프트 줘", "hand off"
  • Context window is filling up, or Claude suggested starting a fresh session, and the user wants to continue the same work without losing state.

Golden path: run /wrap-up first (so a durable history unit exists to point to), then /handoff.

Instructions

Step 1: Identify the work in focus

Establish what the next session should continue:

  1. Run git diff --name-only and git diff --cached --name-only to see what this session touched.
  2. Review the conversation for the active task — what was being built, what was just finished, what is still open.

Step 2: Locate the backing history unit

Read .omniscitus/history/_index.yaml.

  • Find the status: open unit(s) whose last_updated is today — that is the record for this session's work. Note its file: path; it becomes the "full context" pointer inside the handoff prompt.
  • If no open unit was updated today, this session likely isn't recorded yet. Do not block — generate the handoff anyway, but:
    • In the output, replace the file pointer with a note: ⚠️ Not yet recorded — run /wrap-up first so the next session has a durable record to read.
    • Add a one-line suggestion after the block recommending /wrap-up before /clear.

If multiple open units were updated today, use the one matching the active task; list the others' paths as secondary pointers.

Step 3: Distill the carry-over context

Pull from the unit's ## Context, ## Pending, and latest ## Timeline entry, plus the live conversation. Compress into:

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.
