handoff-protocol

handoff-protocol is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from mattmre/EVOKORE-MCP-PUBLIC. It costs 18 tokens per session (743 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A structured handoff guide for passing work between coding-agent sessions. It covers session state, evidence, review steps, and escalation paths using shared project documents.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to document what was done, what remains, important decisions, evidence, and how the next agent should proceed.
Why use it?
It reduces confusion when another session or agent must continue 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-protocol 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 7d 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.

Handoff Protocol

A structured protocol for managing multi-session agent orchestration. This protocol ensures continuity between sessions, captures evidence of work performed, and provides templates for common orchestration activities.

Overview

The handoff protocol defines how agents pass context between sessions. It covers:

  • Session state: What was done, what is in progress, what is next
  • Evidence capture: Commands run, outputs observed, artifacts created
  • Review workflows: When and how to request reviews
  • Escalation paths: When to escalate issues to higher authority

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.
