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.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00059 | $0.00794 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00030 | $0.00397 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00012 | $0.00159 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00079 |
Grade A, and why
memory-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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 77 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
memory-handoff
Coding sessions die with their transcripts. A memory handoff is a short structured note that a memory owner (a long-lived agent, a teammate, or future you) can review and file into durable memory. This skill pairs with brigade, which lints and ingests handoffs, but works standalone.
In a Brigade-wired repo the handoff is the closing gate of the Brigade process model. This skill owns the handoff itself: format, quality bar, routing sections, and lint.
When a handoff is warranted
Durable knowledge only: architecture decisions, non-obvious root causes, environment gotchas, workflow changes, security findings, reusable commands or patterns, user preferences, research findings. Not task chatter, not anything the repo already records (code, git history, existing docs).
Where to write it
- If the repo has a brigade inbox (check
.brigade/config) or an existing handoff dir (.claude/memory-handoffs/,.codex/memory-handoffs/), write there. - Otherwise create
.claude/memory-handoffs/and write there.

Format
# Memory Handoff
## Type
setup | workflow | bugfix | decision | security | preference | research | project-context
## Title
Short, specific title
## Summary
2 to 4 sentences. What happened and why it matters.
## Durable facts
- Fact 1
- Fact 2
## Evidence
- files changed: ...
- commands run: ...
- error strings: ...
## Recommended memory action
create-card | update-card | no-card
## Target card
descriptive-card-name.md
## Suggested card content
(the exact card to save; MUST start with YAML frontmatter)
brigade handoff lint requires the routing sections: Recommended memory action is mandatory, and for create-card/update-card the suggested card content must begin with YAML frontmatter. For no-card, replace the card sections with ## Target document and ## Suggested document content instead. When unsure of the destination system's exact expectations, scaffold with brigade handoff draft and fill it in.
What ships with it
2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.
- 10d ago First seen · 77 lines · 59 tokens per session scan A 981d81f6e25a
memory-handoff is a skill published in the GitHub repository escoffier-labs/skillet (4 stars, last pushed 9d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 59 tokens to every session and 794 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-08-31.
