handoff

handoff is a skill for Codex from feiskyer/codex-settings. It costs 58 tokens per session (412 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A session handoff guide for turning the current conversation into a short document that another coding agent can continue from. It is intended for cases where the user explicitly asks for a handoff.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create a timestamped handoff file containing the background, progress, pending work, relevant skills, and necessary project context.
Why use it?
It prevents the next agent from having to reconstruct the task, completed work, current status, and remaining steps from the full conversation.

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 28d 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

撰写一份交接文档,总结当前对话内容,使全新的 agent 能够无缝继续工作。

输出位置

先解析当前平台的系统临时目录,再保存为 handoff-YYYY-MM-DD-HHMM.md(用实际时间戳替换)。优先使用平台 API,例如 Python 的 tempfile.gettempdir();在 Unix 环境可使用 $TMPDIR,未设置时回退到 /tmp。生成后告知用户完整绝对路径。

文档结构

按以下结构组织交接文档:

  1. 背景与目标 — 一句话概述当前任务
  2. 已完成工作 — 带路径/URL 引用
  3. 当前状态 — 进展到哪一步、卡在哪里
  4. 待办事项 — 下一个 agent 需要做什么
  5. 推荐技能 — 建议调用的 skill 列表
  6. 关键上下文 — 环境、分支、配置等必要信息

规则

  • 不要重复已存在于其他产物(规格文档、计划、ADR、issue、commit、diff)中的内容,改为通过路径或 URL 引用。
  • 脱敏处理:删除 API key、密码、个人身份信息等敏感内容。
  • 如果用户传入了参数,将其视为下一次会话的重点方向,据此调整文档内容。
  • 如果对话里没有值得交接的实质进展,如实说明并交出已有的少量内容,不要为了凑满结构而编造。

What ships with it

1 file 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.

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.
