enablement-handoff

enablement-handoff is a skill for Claude Code from rpraharaj/forward-deployed-engineer. It costs 105 tokens per session (2,046 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A hands-on handoff process for teaching a team to operate and extend software after someone else built it. It combines walkthroughs, pairing, practice work, and confirmation that the team can run it independently.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when ending an engagement, transferring ownership, reducing reliance on one person, or helping a receiving team learn to operate and change a system.
Why use it?
Documentation alone may not give a team the practical knowledge to maintain unfamiliar software. Practice exposes gaps before the original builder leaves.

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

enablement-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.

Enablement handoff

Leaving a team that can carry on.

Why this exists

handover-pack produces documents. Documents are necessary and they are not sufficient — a team can hold a complete, accurate handover pack and still be unable to operate what you built, because reading a runbook and having executed one are different states.

For many engagements the actual deliverable is a team that can continue. The code was never the point; the point was capability that persists. Where that's true and you optimize for shipping instead, you produce a technically successful engagement that decays the month you leave.

The mechanism that causes this is worth naming: an FDE working efficiently works alone, and every efficient solo week concentrates knowledge further. By the end you're the only person who understands the thing you were hired to make sustainable. Enablement has to be designed in from the middle of the engagement, because at the end it's too late.

When this applies

  • An engagement is ending and the team must continue
  • You've been building alone and knowledge has concentrated
  • A team is inheriting something unfamiliar
  • The real deliverable is capability, not code
  • From the midpoint of the engagement, not the end

When it doesn't

  • Genuinely throwaway work
  • The receiving team already knows this domain better than you
  • Nobody is receiving it — which is a finding to escalate, not a reason to skip this
  • You need documents rather than capability — that's handover-pack

Prerequisites

.fde/02b-ownership.md, .fde/01-environment.md, and any runbooks — you need to know who is inheriting this and what they must operate. Do not wait for 09-handover.md. Enablement starts at the midpoint; the handover is written at the end and links here.

Procedure

1. Work out what they must be able to do

Not "understand" — do. Concrete, verifiable capabilities:

  • Run it locally and make a change
  • Deploy it, and roll it back
  • Diagnose the common failure
  • Extend it in the way it's most likely to need extending
  • Know when to ask for help, and whom

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.
