handoff

A session handoff tool that summarizes the current development work in a document. The document records the goal, progress, remaining tasks, blockers, changed files, and repository state.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when pausing a long task, changing machines, handing work to another agent, or reaching the end of a session before the work is complete.
Why use it?
It prevents important context from being lost when work continues in another session, on another machine, or with another coding agent.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 2d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 94 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/supergraph:handoff

Compress session state to a compact document. The next session picks up exactly where this one left off.

Announce: "📦 /supergraph:handoff — compacting session state..."

Steps

1. Capture current state

Gather live state — do not rely on memory:

git status --short
git log --oneline -10

Read active plan file (if any) from docs/supergraph/plans/.

2. Write handoff document

Save to $TMPDIR/supergraph-handoff-<YYYY-MM-DD>.md — NOT in the workspace (avoids accidental commits).

# Supergraph Handoff — <YYYY-MM-DD>

## Goal
[One sentence: what we were trying to accomplish]

## Status
[In-progress / Blocked / Ready for next phase]

## Active Plan
Path: [docs/supergraph/plans/<slug>.md]
Current task: Task N — [description]
Remaining tasks: [list with Status values]

## What Was Done
- [Completed task summaries — brief, no code]

## What Is Left
- [Remaining tasks, in order]
- [Any stuck tasks and why]

## Blockers / Open Questions
- [List — or "none"]

## Key Files Changed
- [path] — [what changed, one line]

## Git State
Branch: [branch name]
Last commit: [hash] [message]
Uncommitted: [list or "none"]

## Environment Context
[Copy from plan's Environment Context section]

## Suggested Skills for Next Session
1. /supergraph:scan (always first)
2. /supergraph:execute plan <slug> (continue tasks)
   or /supergraph:tdd (if resuming single task)
3. /supergraph:fix → /supergraph:verify → /supergraph:review

## Notes
[Anything non-obvious a fresh agent needs to know]

Rules for content:

  • Reference artifacts by path or URL only — never duplicate code or file content
  • Keep the document under 150 lines
  • No session-specific context (e.g., "as I said earlier") — self-contained

3. Report handoff location

✅ /supergraph:handoff complete
- Document: $TMPDIR/supergraph-handoff-<date>.md
- Status: [current status]
- Resume: /supergraph:scan → read handoff doc → /supergraph:execute plan <slug>

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 is a skill published in the GitHub repository datit309/supergraph (21 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 44 tokens to every session and 633 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 2026-08-30.
