handoff-task

handoff-task is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from hoangsonww/AI-Agents-Orchestrator. It costs 31 tokens per session (187 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A coding-task handoff procedure for passing verified work from one AI coding agent to another. It records the repository state, changed files, test results, decisions, and a clear next action.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when another agent must continue a task. It helps inspect the current Git branch and diff, save a checkpoint, and produce a compact continuation note without committing or pushing.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk that the next agent relies on outdated conversation history or misunderstands what was actually changed. It also prevents unsupported claims about tests or unfinished work.

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-task 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 2d 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

Handoff Task

Use this skill only when the user requests a handoff or asks another agent to continue.

  1. Call ai_collaboration.get_context and inspect the actual Git diff.
  2. Resolve discrepancies between current files and captured history in favor of current repository state.
  3. Record a checkpoint with ai_collaboration.record_checkpoint containing completed work, remaining work, decisions, known failures, and one concrete next action.
  4. Return a compact handoff containing the task ID, repository and branch, changed files, tests, checkpoint, and suggested first action.

Do not commit, push, open a pull request, or mark the task complete unless the user explicitly requested those actions. Do not include raw secrets or unnecessary transcript content.

Files

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.
