handover-document-creator

handover-document-creator is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from pantheon-org/tekhne. It costs 163 tokens per session (2,516 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A session handover writer that records what happened and what remains to be done in a file under .context/handovers/. The document lets another agent or a later session resume work without rebuilding the context from the conversation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when pausing unfinished work, changing sessions, moving between worktrees, or explicitly handing work to someone else.
Why use it?
It prevents unfinished work, decisions, and open questions from being lost when a session ends or moves to another agent or worktree.

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

handover-document-creator 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 10d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/validate-handover.sh), 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 — 139 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Handover Document Creator

Write (or pick up) a session handover: a point-in-time snapshot of what happened and what remains outstanding, filed under .context/handovers/ so a different agent or a future session of the same agent can resume the work cold, without needing this conversation's context.

When to use

  • The session is ending (context limit approaching, user stepping away, /clear about to happen) and meaningful work is still in progress
  • The user explicitly asks for a handover, a "what's outstanding" summary for someone else, or to "hand this off"
  • Work is moving between worktrees, branches, or agents (e.g. a wave-based parallel implementation, or handing a spike off to a colleague's session)

When not to use

  • The session's work is fully complete and nothing is outstanding: no handover is needed, the git history and any .context/follow-ups/ entries already filed are sufficient
  • A single outstanding item with no broader session context: file it as a .context/follow-ups/ entry via the create-context-file skill instead (see Relationship to other typologies below) rather than writing a whole handover for one item
  • Journal entries, tool assessments, or plan documents already cover the need: don't duplicate this skill's job into those, or vice versa

Directory and naming convention

.context/handovers/
  YYYY-MM-DD-<slug>.md

One dated file per handover, following the same YYYY-MM-DD-<slug>.md convention as .context/follow-ups/ and .context/plans/. A handover is a snapshot, not a living document: a second handover on the same topic is a new dated file with supersedes set, never an in-place edit of the first. Why, and how this differs from tool-review-assessment's in-place convention: references/typology-and-lifecycle.md.

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.
