.claude/skills/handoff/SKILL.md

handoff is a skill for Claude Code from dixus/claudeframework. It costs 32 tokens per session (472 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A session handoff tool that records the current coding task in a timestamped file.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to record changed files, active specifications and reviews, and whether the work is being planned, implemented, reviewed, fixed, or tested.
Why use it?
It preserves the work context when a session is cleared, becomes full, or ends before the task is finished.

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 2mo 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

Capture the current session state into a timestamped handoff file.

$ARGUMENTS is optional — pass a short label to identify the handoff (e.g. scoring-engine-wip).

Goal

Write a concise handoff file that lets a fresh session resume exactly where this one left off — without needing to re-read the conversation history.

Steps

  1. Run git status and git diff HEAD --stat to see what files changed this session
  2. Check .claude/specs/ for the most recently modified spec (the active work item)
  3. Check .claude/reviews/ for any open review reports
  4. Identify the current pipeline position:
    • Speccing → implementing → reviewing → fixing → testing → done
  5. Write .claude/handoffs/YYYY-MM-DD-HH-MM.md using this structure:
# Handoff: <label or inferred task name>
Date: <timestamp>

## Current task
<One sentence: what are we building or fixing?>

## Pipeline position
<Which skill was running or is next: /0_spec / /1_implement / /2_review / /3_fix / /4_test>

## Active files
- Spec: `.claude/specs/<name>.md` (if applicable)
- Review: `.claude/reviews/<name>-review.md` (if applicable)
- Key source files: <list only files actively being worked on>

## Decisions made this session
<Bullet list of non-obvious choices made — things not visible from reading the code>

## Open questions
<Unresolved issues or things to verify before continuing. Write "None" if clean.>

## Next step
<Exact action to take when resuming — specific enough to execute without rereading the conversation>
  1. Report the handoff file path
  2. Remind the user: run /clear after confirming the handoff looks correct, then /continue in the new session to restore context
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.
