teamwork-handoff

teamwork-handoff is a skill for Codex from RandyNorthrup/teamwork-skill. It costs 91 tokens per session (897 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A project handoff guide that records the current state of a code repository in files for another coding agent or development setup.

In plain words
What is it for?
Preparing or refreshing handoff notes, recording completed work and blockers, and identifying the next safe action.
Why use it?
It preserves verified project context when work pauses, changes hands, or moves between tools, reducing the need to reconstruct what happened.

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

teamwork-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 5d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/teamwork_payload.py), 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 — 52 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Teamwork handoff

Create or update the canonical .teamwork/ payload. Keep filenames stable. Treat live repository evidence as authoritative and memory as potentially stale.

Workflow

  1. Resolve repository root and read all applicable project instructions before changing files.
  2. Identify current agent and harness. Use explicit, honest names; use unknown when unavailable.
  3. Define <skill-dir> as the directory containing this SKILL.md. Select a Python 3.11+ executable (python3, py -3.11, or an absolute interpreter path). Run the bundled script from any working directory and request structured output:
<python-3.11+> "<skill-dir>/scripts/teamwork_payload.py" prepare --repo "<repo-root>" --agent "<agent>" --harness "<harness>" --json
  1. Read .teamwork/SOURCES.md. Inspect only candidates relevant to this project. Also inspect live code, repository docs, VCS status, and test artifacts needed to establish current truth.
  2. Update existing payload documents in place:
    • STATUS.md: exact outcome, completed/in-progress work, blockers, and one concrete safe resume action.
    • PROJECT.md: purpose, boundaries, architecture, important paths, and proven commands.
    • NEXT_STEPS.md: ordered actions and observable done criteria.
    • DECISIONS.md: stable decision IDs, reasons, and evidence.
    • VALIDATION.md: narrow claims, exact commands/artifacts, results, times, and gaps.
    • CONTEXT.md: project-relevant synthesis from instructions and memory with source IDs and freshness caveats.
    • ENVIRONMENT.md: dependencies, services, permissions, and approval boundaries. Preserve generated markers.
  3. Never add session-numbered duplicates. Preserve useful existing content and revise stale facts. Let preparation regenerate WORKTREE.md, SOURCES.md, context-index.json, teamwork-manifest.schema.json, generated Markdown blocks, and manifest facts.
  4. Exclude credentials, creds.md, secrets, tokens, private keys, unrelated personal data, raw conversations, binaries, build output, and large logs. Never stage or commit .teamwork/.
  5. Seal only after replacing every required placeholder:

Files

What ships with it

4 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
