superpowers-ruby:handoff

superpowers-ruby:handoff is a skill for Claude Code from zarpay/rails-template. It costs 45 tokens per session (1,637 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A skill for saving the current coding session’s goals, decisions, progress, and next steps in a handoff document. A handoff lets another session or agent continue the work with that context.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for preparing structured handoffs in a project’s docs/handoffs folder so future work can resume.
Why use it?
It prevents important context from being lost when switching tasks, changing sessions, or ending unfinished work.

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

superpowers-ruby: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 7d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 160 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Handoff

Overview

Capture the current session's state into a structured handoff document so a future session (or a different agent) can resume without losing context. The handoff document records goals, decisions, progress, and next steps.

Core principle: Capture what the next session needs to know — not everything that happened.

Announce at start: "I'm using the handoff skill to capture session state."

When to Use

  • Before ending a long session with unfinished work
  • Before switching to a different task or branch
  • When context is getting large and compaction is likely
  • When handing off work to another person or agent

Don't use when:

  • Work is fully complete (use superpowers-ruby:finishing-a-development-branch instead)
  • Capturing a solved problem (use superpowers-ruby:compound instead)

Quick Reference

/superpowers-ruby:handoff              # Create a full handoff document
/superpowers-ruby:handoff-resume       # Resume from the latest handoff
/superpowers-ruby:handoff-list         # List available handoffs

The Process

Step 1: Gather Mechanical State

Run these commands to collect file-level state:

# Modified files
git diff --name-only
git status --porcelain

# Detect plan files
ls .claude/plans/*.md 2>/dev/null
ls docs/superpowers/specs/*.md 2>/dev/null
ls docs/superpowers/plans/*.md 2>/dev/null

Step 2: Generate Topic

Derive a short topic slug from the current work context. Use the branch name as a starting point, stripped of prefixes like feature/, fix/, lg/. If no branch context, ask the user or derive from the goal.

Topic slug guidelines:

  • Describe the work being done, not the branch or ticket — auth-jwt-migration not fix-auth or JIRA-1234
  • Use 2-4 words in lowercase kebab-case, max 40 characters — enough to distinguish at a glance when scanning docs/handoffs/
  • Focus on the subject and action — what thing is being changed and how: stimulus-form-validation, stripe-webhook-retry-logic
  • Avoid generic slugs like bugfix, refactor, updates — these are meaningless when you have 10 handoffs in the directory
  • When in doubt, match the style of existing handoffs in docs/handoffs/ — consistency beats cleverness

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.
