handoff

handoff is a skill for Claude Code from mhlaghari/stuntman. It costs 58 tokens per session (732 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A project-resumption routine that reads saved project notes before continuing work, including the latest handoff, status, specification, strategy, and README files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to resume scaffolded projects, find the next step, and notice missing or outdated project-memory documents.
Why use it?
A new coding session can recover the project's current state without requiring someone to explain the previous work again.

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 3d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 57 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

stuntman: handoff — resume from the project's memory

/scaffold sets up the project-memory docs; /handoff is how you resume from them. It reads the project's running state, orients, and continues — so a brand- new session (or one after /clear) picks up with zero re-explaining.

What to do

Read host setup. Follow AGENTS.md in Codex and CLAUDE.md in Claude Code, including any additional read-first documents listed there.

  1. Read the memory docs, in order:

    • HANDOFF.md — the session baton: what the last session changed, the next step, gotchas. The primary "where we are."
    • STATUS.md — the board: built / in progress / planned.
    • SPEC.md — the contract: what this is and where it's going. Build to it.
    • STRATEGY.md — the honest why / direction. Read before any big call.
    • README.md — what the project is and how to run it.

    Read what the next step needs, not the whole repo. (A lightly-scaffolded project may not have SPEC.md / STRATEGY.md — skip what's absent.)

    If HANDOFF.md / STATUS.md don't exist, the project isn't scaffolded yet — tell the user to run /scaffold first, and stop.

  2. Check vault freshness. If $STUNTMAN_VAULT (default ~/Documents/Documents/MyProjects/laghari-vault) contains wiki/projects/<project dirname>.md, compare its updated: frontmatter to git log -1 --format=%cs. If it is more than 7 days behind, mention that in the read-back. If a vault-maintenance skill is available, suggest it; otherwise offer to refresh the page directly. /vault is not bundled.

  3. Orient and confirm. Give a short read-back: where the project stands and the next step you picked up from HANDOFF.md. Surface anything stale or contradictory between the docs and the actual code/tree.

  4. Continue the work from that next step — unless the user redirects you.

  5. Before you stop, honor the host's memory contract: update HANDOFF.md (what changed, next step, gotchas), STATUS.md (refresh the board), and README.md (if the project's surface changed) — written for a reader with zero memory of this session. Never commit without explicit authorization.

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.

handoff is a skill published in the GitHub repository mhlaghari/stuntman (13 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 58 tokens to every session and 732 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
