factory-handoff

factory-handoff is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from watt-mind/factory. It costs 47 tokens per session (786 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A handoff skill for sending one fully specified development ticket to a central Factory system over SSH.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to validate a ticket, add only codebase-derived details when possible, and dispatch it to the configured repository.
Why use it?
It provides a controlled way to delegate ready-to-build work without starting implementation in the current session.

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

factory-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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 73 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Remote Factory handoff

Handoff means capture/specify here, execute centrally. Never claim the ticket, create a worktree, spawn an implementation subagent, or begin the implementation in this session.

Existing ticket identifier

  1. Resolve the current repository through Factory's configured repo registry.

  2. Read the ticket and confirm it is dispatchable: Todo, ai:agent-ready, unassigned, and complete under the five-section protocol (Problem & Context, Acceptance Criteria, Source File Pointers, Owned Paths, Verification Command). Do not "repair" an ambiguous ticket by guessing.

  3. If it is not ready, apply the ticket-spec skill: explore read-only, complete only derivable sections, verify the command exists/runs, and promote only when the specification is falsifiable. A genuine product decision remains Triage and is not handed off.

  4. Run the mechanical client with the canonical ticket identifier:

    factory handoff --repo <configured-short-name> <ticket>
    

    The repo flag may be omitted when cwd is inside the configured checkout or one of its worktrees. GitHub tickets use OWNER/REPO#N; Linear tickets use TEAM-N.

  5. Return the machine receipt's admission/duplicate disposition, event/proposal/run state, and dashboard URL. A watched/refused result is a safe outcome, not permission to start locally.

Prose request

Follow the existing capture and specification protocols before handoff:

  1. Search for duplicates and use the existing ticket when one covers the request.
  2. Otherwise file exactly one meaningful ticket with source:human, the correct repo/team/project and taxonomy, and the five complete sections only when supported by code evidence.
  3. Use ticket-spec to fill derivable gaps. If intent or credentials are missing, leave it in Triage and report what is needed; do not hand it off yet.
  4. Once the ticket is Todo + ai:agent-ready + unassigned, invoke factory handoff as above.

Checking run progress and traces

When an operator asks for the status of a handed-off ticket or wants to inspect execution:

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.
