handoff

handoff is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from MIK-HEAL/SyncPoint. It costs 36 tokens per session (249 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A handoff workflow for passing an unfinished task from one AI agent to another through SyncPoint, a task-coordination system. It saves a checkpoint, transfers ownership, and lets the next agent resume.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to checkpoint tasks, request or accept agent handoffs, resume work from a saved snapshot, and check task status.
Why use it?
It prevents context and progress from being lost when work moves between agents. It also records whether the receiving agent accepts or rejects the task.

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 4d 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

Agent Handoff

Step 1: Create Checkpoint

syncpoint loop checkpoint --task <taskId> --agent <sourceAgentId>
syncpoint checkpoint list --task <taskId>

Step 2: Initiate Handoff

syncpoint loop handoff --task <taskId> --agent <sourceAgentId> --target <targetAgentId>
syncpoint handoff create --task <taskId> --from <sourceAgentId> --to <targetAgentId>

Step 3: Accept or Reject

syncpoint handoff accept <handoffId>
syncpoint handoff reject <handoffId> --reason "Not my domain"

Step 4: Resume

syncpoint loop resume --task <taskId> --agent <targetAgentId>
syncpoint loop status

Verification

syncpoint loop status
syncpoint status --task <taskId>
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.
