Why use it?

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

badger-review 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.

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

Badger Code Review

Create .badger-handoff in the current working directory, or another workspace directory explicitly selected by the user. Do not discover a Git root.

Summarize the current conversation briefly with strong recency bias. Include the user's request, what was just implemented, recent decisions and constraints, verification already performed, and reviewer attention points.

Always write this exact UTF-8 framing:

BADGER-HANDOFF-V1
mode: review

<compact review guidance>

Keep the complete file at or below 65,536 bytes. The body is conversation state only: do not inspect or include repository files, diffs, Git state, or topology. Badger collects review context itself.

After writing successfully, derive the absolute directory from the written file path and print exactly:

Badger handoff prepared.

In a separate terminal, run:

cd '/absolute/path/to/the-written-directory'
badger continue

Substitute the actual POSIX-shell-quoted directory. Do not invoke Badger or use another transport.

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.
