Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00073 | $0.01116 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00029 | $0.00446 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00015 | $0.00223 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00112 |
Grade A, and why
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 18d 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 — 89 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Handoff
Write a structured session handoff so the work can be picked up cleanly — in this tool or another, now or later.
Announce: "Using the handoff skill to save selected session context to Vertiso Memory."
CLI fallback: when you call vmem through the vmem CLI instead of the MCP tools, run it as
vmem --agent vscode <command>, so your writes are attributed to this client.
Consent boundary
Invoking this skill at the user's request, or affirmatively accepting an agent's offer to run it, authorizes one capture. That capture may inspect the current conversation and a client-exposed session transcript for exact quotations, then send selected context and attributed verbatim excerpts to Vertiso Memory as a claimable handoff. Once invoked, do not ask a second permission question before performing the transcript-backed handoff write.
One invocation does not grant standing authorization for later handoffs. Omit and do not persist passwords, API keys, authentication tokens, payment information, illegal or illicit materials, or sensitive third-party information the user is not authorized to store.
Secret stripping
Before composing the memory, inspect every selected source, including the conversation, transcript, work artifacts, tool output, title, tags, and metadata, for secrets. Treat passwords, API keys, bearer or refresh tokens, OAuth codes, session cookies, private keys, recovery codes, and credentialed connection strings as secrets.
Strip or redact any detected value before composing the memory. Never send the original value to Vertiso Memory or copy it into a quote, title, tag, metadata, link, or error detail. Do not echo the secret in the report; state only that sensitive content was omitted. If sanitization would make the capture meaningless, stop and ask the user for a sanitized replacement.
When to use
- The user runs
/handoff. - The user asks for a handoff or affirmatively accepts an agent's offer.
- A session ending, a tool or device switch, or approaching compaction is a reason to offer a handoff, not authorization to run it. Wait for the user's approval.
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.

handoff is a skill published in the GitHub repository Vertiso/memory-vscode (0 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 73 tokens to every session and 1,116 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-08-31.
