handoff SKILL.md skillA
handoff from sting25/claude-code-handoff is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add sting25/claude-code-handoff/handoff@git:20260831.1e24eecPins git:20260831.1e24eec in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Snapshot session state to .claude/handoff_current.md and tell the user (loudly, with -*-*- borders) to start a new session. Requires the scripts/hooks installed by this repo's ./install.sh — not a prompt-only skill. Use at clean boundaries (commit lands, track wraps), when the user signals context pressure ("getting long", "meter is full"), or whenever the user invokes /handoff. Blocks until the user actually starts a new session — do not start new work after invoking.
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
# /handoff — write a session handoff
> **Prerequisite:** this skill drives scripts and hooks from
> https://github.com/Sting25/claude-code-handoff — `write_handoff.sh`
> under `~/.claude/bin/` (script install) or the plugin's `bin/`
> (plugin install) and the Stop / SessionStart / SessionEnd hooks
> in `~/.claude/settings.json` are NOT part of this file. Run
> `./install.sh` from that repo (or install the plugin) once per
> machine before first use.
Used at clean boundaries (after a commit, when a major track wraps),
when the user signals context pressure, or whenever the user invokes
`/handoff`. Hands the next session a complete state snapshot so
nothing gets lost across the restart boundary.
## What this skill does
1. **Snapshot state** — runs `write_handoff.sh` (resolved from
`~/.claude/bin/` on a script install or the plugin's `bin/` on a
plugin install — see Steps below), which captures:
- HEAD, branch, recent commits, working-tree state for the current repo
- Same for an optional sibling "substrate" repo (configured via
`HANDOFF_SUBSTRATE_NAME`, e.g. a shared decisions / RFCs repo)
- In-flight (untracked or modified) `.md` docs under the configured
…Read the whole file at its exact version.
How to install
mdr add sting25/claude-code-handoff/handoff@sha256:5ad8f8d3ce8f6a7cThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260831.1e24eec, 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.
