Write and resume durable work handoffs so tasks that cross a session, compaction, or approval boundary are never lost — especially the "push + open PR" finish of coding tasks. user: "continue / finish / where did we leave off" → read the handoff file first, then resume agent ends a turn with unpushed, unfinished work → write `.agents/handoff/<task>.md` before stopping user: "why did the PR never get opened?" → the finish line was orphaned; this skill prevents it Load before ending ANY turn in…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Work handoff Tasks repeatedly died at the finish line: the work was built and verified, but the final two steps (push + open PR) were lost when the session ended, context was compacted, or an approval gate landed mid-task. This skill makes the handoff a **named, written, resumable object** instead of a hope that the next agent re-derives it from a compacted summary. ## The two rules 1. **Never end a turn with verified-but-unpushed work.** If you cannot finish the push + publish steps now, you MUST write `.agents/handoff/<task>.md` BEFORE stopping, and tell the user exactly what was left. That directory is gitignored, so the file cannot ride along in a commit, and each worktree carries its own. 2. **Resuming always starts by reading the handoff file** — not by re-deriving state from conversation history or a compressed summary. If one exists for the same task, its "Remaining steps" section is the plan; do not re-plan. ## When to write a handoff - Any turn ending with: unpushed commits, unopened PR, unapplied config, unreported result. - Context compaction is imminent (long multi-step task, large tool outputs). …

How to install
mdr add tanguille/cluster/handoff@sha256:96cb308c51475828The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261014.1b8131c, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
