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.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

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 | $0.00026 | $0.00304 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00013 | $0.00152 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00005 | $0.00061 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00030 |
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 6d 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.
What it actually says
Handoff
Produce a compact, evidence-based continuation record for a fresh agent.
Gather current state
- Identify the user's latest goal and any later corrections that supersede earlier instructions.
- Record the repository, branch, worktree state, relevant commits, and whether changes are committed or pushed.
- List completed work with concrete file paths and behavior, not a chronological conversation recap.
- List remaining work in dependency order. Include exact failing commands, errors, process IDs, ports, or external blockers when relevant.
- Reference existing specs, plans, diffs, and artifacts instead of duplicating their contents.
- Capture validation already run and its exact result. Never imply unrun checks passed.
Protect the user
Remove API keys, tokens, passwords, cookies, personal identifiers, and unrelated local information. Do not tell the next agent to overwrite or discard uncommitted work unless the user explicitly requested it.

## Resume command
Keep it short enough to read at session start. Save it to the operating system's temporary directory when file tools are available; otherwise return the Markdown directly. End with one exact command or action that safely resumes the work.
What ships with it
2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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 zszz3/AgentRecall (762 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 26 tokens to every session and 304 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-08-30.
