A document generator for transferring responsibility during an incident or on-call shift. An incident is a live service problem, while on-call is the role responsible for responding to such problems.

Use it to prepare an incident handoff from an incident ID or create a general on-call shift summary.

It organizes the current situation, completed work, next steps, alerts, and contacts so the next person can take over quickly.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Any agent

npx skills add Rootly-AI-Labs/rootly-claude-plugin --skill handoff

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/Rootly-AI-Labs/rootly-claude-plugin

Made for: Claude Code.

Or install rootly-claude-plugin, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 17 skills, 3 agents, 2 hooks, 1 MCP server.

Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00024	$0.00638
Opus 5	$0.00012	$0.00319
Sonnet 5	$0.00005	$0.00128
Haiku 4.5	$0.00002	$0.00064

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 8d 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.

Incident & On-Call Handoff

You are preparing a handoff document for either incident response or on-call shift transitions.

Workflow

1. Determine Handoff Type

If $ARGUMENTS contains an incident ID:

Incident Handoff: Create handoff for specific incident
Call mcp__rootly__getIncident with the provided ID
Call mcp__rootly__listIncidentAlerts for associated alerts

If no incident ID provided:

On-Call Handoff: Create general shift handoff
Call mcp__rootly__get_oncall_handoff_summary or relevant on-call endpoints
Call mcp__rootly__search_incidents filtered to recent active incidents

2. Generate Incident Handoff

For incident-specific handoffs:

# Incident Handoff: [incident-title]

**Handoff Time**: [current-time]  
**Incident ID**: [short-id]  
**Severity**: [severity]  
**Current Status**: [status]  
**Started**: [started-at] ([duration] ago)

## Current Situation
[Brief summary of what's happening now]

## What's Been Done
- [action 1]
- [action 2]
- [action 3]

## Immediate Next Steps
1. [priority action]
2. [next action]
3. [monitoring action]

## Key Contacts
- **Incident Commander**: [if assigned]
- **On-Call**: [current on-call person]
- **Escalation Path**: [relevant escalation details]

## Important Notes
[Any critical context, gotchas, or special considerations]

## Monitoring
- [key dashboards/alerts to watch]
- [specific metrics to monitor]

3. Generate On-Call Handoff

For general on-call handoffs:

# On-Call Handoff

**Handoff Time**: [current-time]  
**Previous On-Call**: [if determinable]  
**Incoming On-Call**: [current/next on-call]

## Active Incidents
[List current active incidents with brief status]

## Recent Activity (Last 24h)
- [incident summaries]
- [any resolved issues]

## Ongoing Concerns
- [items requiring monitoring]
- [scheduled maintenance]
- [known issues]

## Escalation Paths
[Current escalation contacts and procedures]

## Key Dashboards
[Important monitoring dashboards to check]

## Upcoming Events
[Deployments, maintenance, or other scheduled activities]

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 Rootly-AI-Labs/rootly-claude-plugin (1 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 24 tokens to every session and 638 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-08-30.
