agent-handoff

agent-handoff is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from sifxprime/kodelyth-ecc. It costs 61 tokens per session (1,415 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A handoff procedure for passing a multi-step coding task from one specialist agent to another. It records who is handing off, why, and what information the next agent needs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to chain specialist agents through development, bug fixing, review, and security work.
Why use it?
It prevents important context from being lost when different agents handle planning, tests, review, debugging, or security.

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

agent-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 yesterday.

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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 185 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Agent Handoff Protocol

Single agents handle single concerns. Real engineering tasks span multiple concerns. Handoffs are how ECC chains agents without losing context.

The 3-Line Handoff Protocol

When an agent finishes its scope and the next step needs a different specialist, it ends with exactly this shape:

─────────────────────────────────────
HANDOFF
  From: <current-agent>
  To:   <next-agent>
  Why:  <one-line reason>
  Carry: <what the next agent needs to know>
─────────────────────────────────────

Then stop. The next agent picks up from Carry:.

Standard Chains

These are the most common multi-agent flows. Memorize them.

Build something new (clean path)

pair-programmer  →  tdd-guide  →  code-reviewer  →  api-guardian (if API)
                                              →  security-reviewer (if sensitive)
                                              →  ux-reviewer (if UI)

pair-programmer agrees on approach. tdd-guide writes failing tests first. The implementer writes code. code-reviewer checks it. Specialist reviewers check their domain.

Bug in production

debug-detective  →  tdd-guide          →  refactor-cleaner (optional)
                 (root cause)        (regression test)

Always add a regression test after a real-bug fix. Always.

Refactor a module

code-explorer    →  refactor-cleaner   →  tdd-guide        →  code-reviewer
(map dependencies)  (cleanup)          (verify behavior)

Performance investigation

performance-optimizer  →  tdd-guide       →  code-reviewer
                       (perf regression test)

API change

api-guardian  →  pair-programmer  →  tdd-guide  →  doc-updater
(blast radius)  (impl approach)                   (changelog)

Security audit

security-reviewer  →  tdd-guide               →  release-captain
                   (security regression test)  (patch release)

Open-source a private project

opensource-forker  →  opensource-sanitizer  →  opensource-packager  →  release-captain
(make a clean fork) (strip secrets/PII)      (README, license, examples)  (cut v0.1.0)

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.
