matrix-handoff

matrix-handoff is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Rosenfan/Matrix. It costs 42 tokens per session (959 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A handoff tool that exports an approved Matrix design into a bounded task package for another coding agent. Matrix is a workflow that tracks a change from design to implementation.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps one agent design a change and another agent implement it, using agents such as Claude Code or opencode.
Why use it?
It transfers the exact approved design and implementation details without changing the workflow's recorded state or approval files.

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

matrix-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 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 80 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Matrix Handoff(Implementation Handoff)

这是可选旁路,不是 Matrix phase。它不得执行 transition、archive,也不得写入 matrix.yaml 或 events.jsonl。它只支持匹配的 full 或 legacy-full 三产物 Contract;新的 lightweight hotfix/tweak 不支持导出。

人类可读 handoff 内容使用 inspect 的 artifact_language;稳定的机器可读标题和 metadata key 保持不变。

何时使用

满足以下条件时使用 $matrix-handoff:

  • 变更已进入 Build,且 design -> build 已批准精确 Contract;
  • 你希望由另一个 agent 实现冻结的设计——例如 Codex 设计、Claude Code 实现,或 zcode 设计、opencode 实现;
  • 你需要一份带全部实现细节的有界任务包。

前置条件

导出器写任何内容前先做只读检查:

node <matrix-skill-directory>/scripts/matrix-runtime.mjs guard build

若结果为 CONTRACT_CHANGED、CONTRACT_UNAPPROVED 或 CONTRACT_READ_FAILED,回到 $matrix-design,修订后重新进入 Build 取得新批准。导出只读取批准快照中的 proposal.md、design.md 与 plan.md。

导出

实现 agent 由用户显式选择,通过 --agent <agent-id>(kebab-case)传入;可用 --from <agent-id> 标注设计方 agent。

# 通用 agent 交接:写入 artifacts/handoff-task-<ID>.md
node <matrix-skill-directory>/scripts/matrix-runtime.mjs export --task-id <ID> --agent opencode
node <matrix-skill-directory>/scripts/matrix-runtime.mjs export --task-id <ID> --agent claude-code --from codex

# 兼容形态(Claude Code):写入 artifacts/claude-task.md
node <matrix-skill-directory>/scripts/matrix-runtime.mjs export --task-id <ID> --target generic

# FnSec:仅在 active.md 含有 NO_ACTIVE_OBJECTIVE 时更新看板
node <matrix-skill-directory>/scripts/matrix-runtime.mjs export --task-id <ID> --target fnsec --apply-fnsec-board

--agent 与 --target 互斥。新交接推荐 --agent;--target generic 仅为兼容保留。

任务包内容

导出包(artifacts/handoff-task-<task-id>.md)的元数据记录 Implementation actor(--agent 值)与 Decision owner(--from 值,缺省为 "Matrix change owner"),并包含批准的 Contract hash 与 revision,以及同一冻结快照的 proposal、design、plan。Objective、Allowed/Prohibited work 与 Stop conditions 原样携带——它们与具体 agent 无关。

实现 agent 完成后

继续 $matrix-verify 前先核对以下证据:

  • artifacts/verification.md 存在且含 ## Build evidence
  • Build evidence 含具体命令与结果
  • plan 的 Validation 命令全部执行
  • NEEDS_DECISION 项已解决或已记录

证据缺失时,让实现 agent 补齐后再继续。

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.

matrix-handoff is a skill published in the GitHub repository Rosenfan/Matrix (5 stars, last pushed 11d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 42 tokens to every session and 959 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-09-20.
