In plain words

Why use it?
It prevents important progress, failed approaches, and next steps from being lost when the current conversation ends.

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 11d 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

Write or update a handoff document so the next agent with fresh context can continue.

Steps

  1. If HANDOFF.md exists in the project root, read it first.
  2. Do not duplicate content already in PRDs, plans, ADRs, issues, commits, or diffs — reference them by path or URL.
  3. Write or update HANDOFF.md in the project root with:
    • Goal — what we're trying to accomplish
    • Current Progress — what's done (link commits/PRs)
    • What Worked — approaches that succeeded
    • What Didn't Work — dead ends, so they aren't retried
    • Next Steps — concrete action items
    • Suggested skills — which skills the next session should load, if any
  4. If the user passed arguments, tailor the doc to that focus.
  5. Tell the user the path so they can start a fresh conversation with it.
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.
