coding-handoff

coding-handoff is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from raulvidis/openclaw-multi-agent-kit. It costs 46 tokens per session (522 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for passing coding work between builder, quality-check, and deployment agents with agreed status messages and task details.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to send structured handoffs, track branches and commits, report test results, and check whether a pull request is ready.
Why use it?
It reduces confusion about who owns a task, what was checked, and whether work is ready to merge or still blocked.

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

coding-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.

Coding Handoff Skill

Required Handoff Envelope

Always send handoff messages using:

  • from
  • to
  • task_id
  • priority (P1/P2/P3)
  • summary
  • context (branch, commit, environment)
  • done_when (checklist)
  • deliver_to (topic/channel target)

Lifecycle

  1. Post ACK quickly with ownership and ETA.
  2. Execute scoped checks.
  3. Post DONE with evidence (tests, logs, diff summary) or BLOCKED with explicit unblock requirements.

PR Readiness Gate

Before DONE, verify:

  • lint/type/test status
  • regression risk notes
  • rollback note
  • unresolved TODOs list

If any gate fails, return BLOCKED, not DONE.

Branch Naming

Branches created during a coding handoff should encode origin and task for traceability:

<agent-id>/<task_id>-<short-slug>

Examples: coder/build-142-coupon-rounding, coder/auth-jwt-001-refresh-token.

This pattern makes it easy to grep history for an agent's work, link branches back to task IDs in topic messages, and reason about cleanup. Avoid bare slugs (fix-bug) or timestamp-only branches — they don't carry provenance.

Do not commit or push unless the task explicitly asks for it. The DONE message references the local branch; pushing/PR-opening is a separate explicit step.

Scope Discipline

A handoff is bounded by done_when. Anything outside that scope:

  • Unrelated bug spotted while working: mention it in the DONE message under Risks/Notes. Do not fix it in the same change.
  • Adjacent refactor that "would be nice": skip. File a follow-up task instead.
  • Test that fails for unrelated reasons: flag it, route around it, don't paper over it.

Scope creep turns a 1-hour handoff into a 6-hour mystery. The handoff format exists to keep work bounded — respect it.

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.
