Decide whether a workhub task meant for an agent to work continues in this session or goes to a fresh one, and hand it off. Use right after filing such a task (task-list, task-report follow-ups), or when the user asks to run a task in another session.

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

# task-handoff — Continue here, or hand the task to a fresh session

A task filed mid-session invites rolling straight into it. The owner's default
runs the other way: a follow-up gets its own session, with a clean context and
its own row in the session list. This skill turns that into an explicit call —
a recommendation with its reason, every time — and carries out the handoff.
For an ordered list of tasks to run back to back, use `task-chain` instead;
to decide the order and parallelism of many tasks first, use `task-orchestrate`.

## Steps

1. **Recommend continue or hand off.** Read the task file's frontmatter and
   `## Description`. This skill is for a task an agent is meant to work
   (`todo`, an agent assignee); for an `inbox` idea or a task assigned to
   `me`, the filing is the whole job and this skill is done — unless the
   owner asked for the handoff themselves. Recommend a **fresh session** when any of these hold:

   - it is its own unit of work — a different milestone or backlog item from
     the task this session is on;
   - it has `confirm: true`, so its plan needs the owner's approval;
   - it works in a different area or repository from this session;
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add atman-33/workhub/task-handoff@sha256:ec0182234c9b85be

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261004.fa71045, 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.
