ds-handoff

ds-handoff is a skill for Claude Code from StamKavid/last-ds-mile. It costs 70 tokens per session (611 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A final packaging step for a completed data-science project so another person can rerun and understand it. It includes exact dependency versions, a model card, a tested script or notebook, and a recorded model artifact.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before sharing or deploying a model to pin dependencies, document its purpose and limits, verify a clean rerun, and save the model with version and training-data details.
Why use it?
It removes uncertainty about which environment, data, assumptions, and limitations are needed to reproduce the work.

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

ds-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 12d 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.

ds-handoff — Reproducibility & Handoff

Overview

Packages the finished work so someone else can rerun it, trust it, and know its limits — the last mile the whole plugin is named for.

When to Use

  • The model or analysis is ready to be shared, deployed, or handed to another team.
  • After /ds-report has produced the stakeholder narrative and limitations.
  • NOT for: further tuning or re-evaluation — if the model isn't finished, go back to /ds-model or /ds-evaluate first.

Core Process

  1. Gate check: confirm the environment is pinned — a lockfile, or a requirements.txt/environment.yml with exact versions, not bare package names. If it isn't pinned, stop and pin it before continuing.
  2. Write a model card: what it predicts, a training-data summary, the metric and its baseline lift, known limitations (from /ds-report), and intended vs. out-of-scope use.
  3. Confirm the notebook or script reruns cleanly top-to-bottom in a fresh kernel/environment before considering the work done.
  4. Serialize the model artifact together with its version and the training-data hash/date, recorded alongside it.
  5. Write to .last-ds-mile/stages/10-handoff.md: the model card, the environment pin location, the rerun confirmation, and the artifact location.

Common Rationalizations

See ds-method for the shared Rationalizations that apply to every stage, in particular "it's just exploratory, I'll clean this up before shipping" — the notebook-nobody-could- rerun failure mode this stage exists to prevent.

Red Flags

Red Flag What it usually means
The environment file lists packages with no version numbers This is exactly the condition the Gate Check above exists to catch — unpinned environments are how "works on my machine" ships.

See ds-method for the shared Red Flags that apply to every stage.

See lessons/the-notebook-nobody-could-rerun.md for a real example of a handoff that looked done but wasn't reproducible.

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.

ds-handoff is a skill published in the GitHub repository StamKavid/last-ds-mile (3 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 70 tokens to every session and 611 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-08-31.
