happy-handoff

happy-handoff is a skill for Codex from markoblogo/abvx-agent-skills. It costs 38 tokens per session (520 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for moving an unfinished Codex Desktop task to Happy on Android at a safe checkpoint. It records the workspace state and next step before starting the resumed session.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps hand off a coding task, preserve dirty files, record validation and running processes, and resume the same task in Happy.
Why use it?
It avoids losing context or accidentally changing uncommitted work when switching devices. It also makes clear which actions the handoff does not authorize.

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

happy-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 yesterday.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/launch.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 52 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Happy Handoff

Resume the same Codex task in Happy after reaching a safe checkpoint. The handoff request authorizes starting Happy for the current task. It does not authorize commits, pushes, deployments, destructive actions, or unrelated changes.

Workflow

  1. Finish the current tool call or other indivisible operation.

  2. Preserve the workspace. Do not clean, stash, commit, or rewrite dirty work for the handoff.

  3. Capture a compact checkpoint: completed work, current branch or directory, validation state, dirty files, active processes, and the next concrete step.

  4. Require CODEX_THREAD_ID, the current working directory, an authenticated Happy CLI, and the system script command. If a prerequisite is unavailable, report the exact blocker instead of opening an unrelated session.

  5. As the final tool action, run:

    python3 "${CODEX_HOME:-$HOME/.codex}/skills/happy-handoff/scripts/launch.py"
    
  6. Immediately return the checkpoint so it is stored in the task before Happy resumes it. Say that the handoff is scheduled and ask the user to open Happy on Android.

The launcher waits briefly, then starts happy codex --resume for the exact task in the same directory. Use --dry-run to validate prerequisites without scheduling a session.

Guardrails

  • Never add --yolo, bypass approval settings, or expand permissions.
  • Do not claim that Android received the task until the user observes it there.
  • Do not enable voice or daemon autostart as part of a handoff.
  • Starting the Happy daemon when it is needed is allowed by the handoff request.
  • Windows is currently unsupported; macOS and Linux use different script syntax and are handled explicitly.

Output Shape

Report:

  • checkpoint;
  • task ID and workspace;
  • launcher status: dry-run, scheduled, or blocked;
  • next step in Happy;
  • unverified boundary: Android receipt until observed.

Provenance

Original ABVX workflow around the MIT-licensed slopus/happy CLI. Happy is an external companion and is not bundled with this repository.

Files

What ships with it

3 files 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.
