session-handoff

session-handoff is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from matebenyovszky/agentplaybooks. It costs 35 tokens per session (129 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A session handoff template that records what changed, what remains, useful commands, and decisions a future coding session must preserve.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when ending a coding session to summarize the working tree, remaining work, tests or checks to run, and files or decisions to watch.
Why use it?
It prevents work from being lost between Cursor or Hermes sessions and replaces vague backlog notes with a concrete next step.

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

session-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 21d 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

Session handoff

End the session with four short headings:

  1. Done — what landed in the working tree.
  2. Not done — the next concrete step, not a vague backlog.
  3. Commands — tests or doctor/sync commands still worth running.
  4. Watch — files or decisions a future session must not reverse.

Keep it under a screen. No secrets.

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.
