Use when pausing work, crossing a context boundary, waiting for an external event, resuming a prior session, or delivering an in-progress change; preserve verified state and make the next action unambiguous.
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
Use this skill to transfer verified state between sessions or agents. It records state; it does not own execution or authorize external changes.
## Procedure
1. Finish and verify the current atomic step. Stop nested writers before pausing. Do not start a new scope near a context boundary, and do not leave a known-broken edit without recording the reason and recovery step.
2. Preserve uncommitted work explicitly. Commit, push, or open a pull request only when the user or repository policy authorizes it.
3. Write exactly one resume note with these sections, in this order:
- Goal
- Decisions
- Changed files
- Evidence
- Session
- Next step
4. Collect changed files with `git status --short --untracked-files=all -z -- .`. Parse Porcelain v1 records as NUL-delimited UTF-8, preserve ordinary paths verbatim, consume the extra source field for rename/copy records, and record only the destination. Reject missing fields, invalid statuses, and output without a trailing NUL.

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260827.eaa4296, 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.
A 17 of 17 checks passed. Fixed automatic checks with no AI involved, so the same checks give the same answer every run.
