Prepare a traceable research handoff when a user asks to transfer an existing project using supplied notes and files; do not use for new literature searches or new analysis.
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
# Research handoff ## Responsible for Organize existing observations, decisions, source paths, and unresolved questions. Use this Skill when the user asks to hand over an existing research project. Do not invent experiments, citations, computed results, or missing decisions. ## Inputs and dependencies Require a handoff request and user-supplied notes or project files. If absent, ask for the missing inputs and pause dependent work. A text-capable model is sufficient. Use Wisp's `read` tool only if local input files need reading. No MCP, network, Python, R, or OS-specific runtime is required. ## Procedure Read [the handoff template](references/handoff-template.md) relative to this Skill package directory. Identify the project objective and intended audience. Separate observed facts from proposed next steps. Include the source file path or supplied URL for each substantive observation. Mark unknowns explicitly. ## Deliverables and confirmation Return the handoff in chat unless the user requested a file. When a file is requested, write Markdown within the active project to the requested path and follow Wisp's normal write approval. Never infer consent from an unanswered …

How to install
mdr add xuzhougeng/wisp-science/research-handoff@sha256:beba8cf2d1ad23e2The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260911.5970f2e, 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.
