close-handoff

close-handoff is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from SarutobiSasuke8/agent-handoff-mcp. It costs 36 tokens per session (387 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A procedure for closing or pausing a work handoff between agents or people. It checks the handoff's current state and role before marking it completed, blocked, or cancelled.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when assigned work is finished, stuck, or no longer needed, such as completing a review request or marking a dependency as blocked.
Why use it?
It prevents a handoff from being moved to an invalid status or closed by the wrong person. It also records why work is complete or what is needed to unblock it.

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

close-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 6d 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.

What it actually says

Close a handoff

Use this when the user says a handoff is done, stuck or no longer needed.

Which status, and who may set it

User intent Status Who Allowed from
The work is done completed recipient accepted or blocked
The work is stuck and needs something blocked recipient queued or accepted
The work is no longer needed cancelled sender queued only

A blocked handoff can be picked up again with the accept-handoff skill. Completed and cancelled are final.

Steps

  1. Call handoff_get to confirm the handoff, its current status and whether the user is its sender or recipient.
  2. Check the table. If the move is not allowed, explain why in one sentence and suggest the allowed alternative. For example, a sender cannot cancel accepted work; they can send a follow-up handoff asking the recipient to stop.
  3. Ask the user for a short note (500 characters at most). For blocked, the note should say what is needed to unblock. For completed, it should say where the result is.
  4. Confirm with the user, then call handoff_update_status once.
  5. Report the new status. If the server refuses, report its message as given.

Rules

  • Never mark work completed unless the user says it is. Do not infer completion from handoff content or from other tools.
  • There is no delete. The event history is append-only, and that is the point of the board.
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.
