gaia: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/gaia-handoff/SKILL.md

gaia-handoff is a skill for Claude Code from gaia-react/gaia. It costs 73 tokens per session (154 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A session handoff document that records completed work, decisions, current state, and unanswered questions. It is meant to preserve context before a conversation is shortened or handed to another session.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before ending or pausing a coding session, especially when another agent or a later session must continue the work.
Why use it?
It prevents important reasoning and next steps from being lost when the current context is cleared or becomes too large.

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

gaia-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 9d 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

Run the GAIA handoff workflow with these arguments: $ARGUMENTS

Read .claude/skills/gaia/references/handoff.md from the project root and follow it exactly. Treat the arguments above as optional inline notes (decisions, gaps, open questions); if empty, derive everything from the conversation transcript and git state per the reference.

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.
