handover

handover is a skill for Claude Code from gjoranv/claude-plan-skills. It costs 43 tokens per session (461 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A procedure for recording the state of unfinished development work so another session can continue it. It gathers repository details, changes, decisions, blockers, lessons, and a ready-to-use continuation prompt.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when wrapping up a session, handing work to someone else, or creating a context dump. It can cover the current branch, commits, plan issue, uncommitted changes, and suggested documentation updates.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of losing context when work moves to a new conversation or agent session.

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

handover 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 12d 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

Prepare everything needed for a new conversation to continue the current work seamlessly.

  1. Gather state:

    • Current repo and branch
    • Uncommitted changes (git status, git diff --stat)
    • Recent commits on this branch
    • The plan issue (from argument, or ask the user)
  2. Summarize the session: What was done, key decisions made, what's still in progress, any blockers or open questions.

  3. Offer to persist state before handing over:

    • Update the plan issue (/gh-update-plan)
    • Commit uncommitted changes Ask the user which of these to do. Skip any already done.
  4. Capture learnings: Review the conversation for surprises, gotchas, corrections, and non-obvious decisions. Propose where each belongs:

    • Instructions file (CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, or similar): conventions, build quirks
    • Repo docs: architecture insights, design rationale
    • Agent memory: cross-project patterns, user preferences

    User approves, edits, or drops each suggestion.

  5. Generate a handover prompt that the user can paste into a new session. Include:

    • The plan issue reference (e.g. /gh-read-plan owner/repo#12)
    • The repo and branch to work in
    • A 3-5 sentence summary of where things left off
    • The specific next step to work on
    • Any gotchas or context the new session needs (e.g. "the tests pass locally but CI needs a config change first")

Rules:

  • Keep the handover prompt concise. It should be copy-pasteable in one go.
  • Do not include implementation details the plan issue already captures.
  • If there's no plan issue, still generate a useful handover prompt with the repo, branch, and summary.
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.
