handoff

handoff is a skill for Claude Code from regen-coordination/org-os-template. It costs 64 tokens per session (752 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A handoff-prompt generator for passing a coding task to another operator. The prompt identifies the target document or task, tells the operator how to sync their branch, and describes the expected pull request to the main branch.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when another operator needs to take over work on a document or task. It helps create a short, copy-and-paste brief with the relevant repository link and git workflow.
Why use it?
It removes the need to explain repository location, branch setup, task context, and delivery steps manually. A pull request is a proposed code change that another person can review before merging.

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 7d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 38 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are generating a handoff prompt — a compact, copy-paste brief another operator pastes into THEIR clone of this org-os instance (any agent/editor) to pick up a piece of work. It self-syncs their trunk with plain git (no dependency on /sync existing), points them at the target, and ends with a clean trunk→main PR.

The output is the deliverable. Keep it minimal.

Step 1: Parse the ask

$ARGUMENTS = <operator> <target> [the ask…]

  • operator → trunk: resolve the operator's trunk slug from the instance's operator roster (data/members.yaml, or the trunk branches on the remote: git branch -r). If ambiguous, ask which trunk.
  • target: a repo doc (docs/SOME-DOC.md or a bare filename, optionally a §N/heading) or a task id (task-…, resolve from data/tasks.yaml).
  • the ask: the rest — one clause naming the concrete deliverable. If absent, infer from the target; if still unclear, ask ONE question. Don't over-ask.
  • Live link: derive the repo's web URL from git remote get-url originhttps://github.com/<org>/<repo>/blob/main/<docpath> (append #<anchor> only if confident it resolves; otherwise name the section inside the ask). For a task, link the same repo path to data/tasks.yaml and cite the id.
  • Confirm the trunk slug from Step 1.

Step 3: Emit the prompt (a single paragraph the operator pastes into their instance)

The prompt is an instruction to THEIR agent (Claude Code / OpenCode / Cursor / Zed) — natural language; the agent does the git sync, the edits, and the PR. Output ONLY this filled template in a code block, nothing else:

In <REPO-NAME>: sync my `<TRUNK>` trunk with `main` — fetch, switch to <TRUNK>, merge `origin/main` (fast-forward if possible, else a merge commit), push. Then open <LINK> and <ASK>. Commit to <TRUNK> and open a PR to `main`.

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.

handoff is a skill published in the GitHub repository regen-coordination/org-os-template (5 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 64 tokens to every session and 752 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
