handoff-prompt

handoff-prompt is a skill for Claude Code from Justinmendezai/The-Adam-Repo. It costs 61 tokens per session (514 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A workflow that creates a handoff document and a copy-ready prompt for the next coding agent. The handoff records the mission, relevant files, scope, rules, and conditions for stopping.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when a work phase ends and another agent must take over. It saves handoff and kickoff files and prints the kickoff prompt for copying into a new chat.
Why use it?
It reduces the information lost when work moves to another session, workspace, or agent. The next agent gets the context needed to continue without reconstructing it from scratch.

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-prompt 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

handoff-prompt

Handoff plus kickoff prompt — use when a wave closes and the next session needs a paste-ready driver.

Output (always both)

  1. Handoff doc — handoff template; save to:
    • adam/memory/handoffs/<topic>-<YYYY-MM-DD>.md (harness-level)
    • scratch/handoff/handoff-<YYYYMMDD-HHmm>.md (product repo)
  2. Kickoff prompt file — scratch/handoff/KICKOFF-<topic>.md with the full paste-ready orchestrator prompt (not a summary).
  3. Chat block — print kickoff prompt in a fenced code block for copy/paste.

Kickoff prompt sources

  • agent-control/next-orchestrator-brief.md (canonical in product repos)
  • orchestrate-build driver preamble
  • plan/ORCHESTRATOR.md if the repo defines one
  • Branch rules from foundation/repo/folder-contract.md (adam/<slice-id>)

Include: mission, read-first paths, slice scope, stop conditions, operator gates.

Cross-workspace continuation

No API spawns a fresh agent chat in another repo with a preloaded prompt. Options:

Mode What happens
A — Copy/paste (default) New chat in target repo; @ handoff + KICKOFF; paste prompt
B — Same chat switch User approves → cursor-app-control move_agent_to_root → continue kickoff here
C — Multi-root move_agent_to_root with rootPaths: [harness, product-repo]

Do not call move_agent_to_root without explicit user approval.

Quality bar

  • Handoff under 150 lines; kickoff may be long.
  • Next concrete step at top of both files.

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.
