Fresh-session handoff doc drafting. Produces a stable, single-file human-readable narrative state for the NEXT agent context (fresh session, after `/clear`, after persist iteration, after a tab close). The artifact lives at `docs/handoffs/YYYY-MM-DD-<arc>.md` and follows a stable shape: TL;DR + State-of-the-world (P15 snapshot) + What-was-delivered (PR table with SHAs) + First action + Pickup state. Distinct from P12 persist's `PROMPT.md` (machine-state for cross-context loop) and the P1…
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 — Fresh-session handoff doc skill **Compress a substantive arc into a single resumable doc the next agent loads cold.** ## Why this skill exists Across the 7-day window 2026-05-18 → 2026-05-24, **nine fresh-session handoff docs** were drafted by hand. Six landed in `docs/handoffs/` (Houston substrate completion, BRO-1208 streaming hang, Houston advanced-settings wave, Life-Houston H1 runner refactor, Stage 1 fresh-session, etc.) and three landed in `docs/conversations/HANDOFF-*` (substrate completion arc, BRO-1180 four pillars, Spec J real-Anthropic smoke). All shared the same shape — the recurrence met rule-of-three (P16) ~3× over. Before this skill, the writer rebuilt the structure each time: which sections appear, what order, what level of detail per section, which git SHAs to cite, how to phrase the "first action". The skill captures the canonical shape so subsequent handoffs are produced consistently in a single pass. ## What this skill provides 1. **Template** (`references/handoff-template.md`) — the canonical section structure, with annotations explaining each section's purpose and stop condition. …

How to install
mdr add broomva/skills/handoff@sha256:6de4333a8001ae68The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260927.cda4472, 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.
