session-handoff

session-handoff is a skill for Claude Code from entireio/skills. It costs 33 tokens per session (2,204 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A session-handoff workflow for continuing work from another coding agent or inspecting a saved session and checkpoint.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to read recent session transcripts, understand what was completed, identify pending decisions, and continue the work in another agent session.
Why use it?
It lets an agent recover the previous context and unanswered questions instead of starting the task from scratch.

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

session-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 8d 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 — 138 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Hand-Off Session

Response Format

Begin the first response to this skill invocation with the line:

Entire Session Handoff:

followed by a blank line, then the content. Apply the header to the first response of the invocation only — not on follow-up turns and not on error / early-exit responses (no sessions found, transcript missing). Its presence signals the skill ran and produced real output. The "Unanswered Question" branch still gets the header.

STOP — Read these rules before doing ANYTHING

  1. Do NOT ask clarifying questions. Auto-detect the session and read the transcript.
  2. Do NOT run git log, git status, git branch, ps aux, or any other exploratory commands. Use only the entire CLI commands listed below.
  3. Do NOT say "Would you like me to continue?" or "Let me know if you want me to pick this up." Just read the transcript and start working. Exception: if the previous agent asked the user a question that was never answered, you MUST ask the user that question before proceeding.

Required CLI: entire 0.6.2+ (session list --json, session info --transcript, session current --json|--transcript, checkpoint explain --json|--transcript|--raw-transcript --session-index N). If a flag is rejected, tell the user to upgrade and stop.

Flow: Active session handoff (default — also covers bare invocation and "current"/"active")

Step 1: Resolve the canonical worktree path

entire session current --json

If the output is valid JSON, read its worktree_path field — that is the canonical worktree root for this invocation, set by Entire itself. Use it verbatim in the next step (no cwd heuristic needed; symlinks, /private/var//var quirks, and subdirectory invocation are all handled).

If the output is not JSON (Entire prints No active session found in this worktree. when nothing is active), set the canonical worktree path to null and rely on the bidirectional prefix-match fallback in Step 2.

Step 2: Pick the session

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.
