Produces structured markdown session continuation documents for multi-session workflows. Captures active work streams, decisions with rationale, knowledge-file deltas learned during the session, the exact files to load next conversation, ingested content, artifacts, and open items into an ingestion-optimized handoff. Carries pending KF updates and unresolved items forward across handoff chains so context never drops. Generates a closeout checklist and echoes the starter prompt to chat. Use…

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

# Session Handoff

> **Calibration:** Tier 1 (Model-compatible) — runs cleanly on the current dual-primary tier (Opus 5.5, Sonnet 5.5) and on Haiku 5.5. Structured retrieval, rule evaluation, or template lookup — output shape does not depend on the model. Fallback-graceful on Opus 5 / Sonnet 5; legacy-graceful on Sonnet 4.6. See repository README for model compatibility.

> **Version 2.0:** Markdown output (was XML). Adds forced knowledge-file delta capture, a files-to-load-next-conversation list split by track, a chat echo of the starter prompt and load list, datetime-stamped naming with a Handoff Card, a completeness gate, and a carry-forward ledger that survives long handoff chains. v1.0 capture discipline preserved.

Produce a markdown session continuation document when multi-session work needs a clean breakpoint. The document is the next session's only inheritance from this one — it carries active tracks, decisions, knowledge gained, the files to reload, and open items so work resumes immediately instead of being re-derived.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add drayline/rootnode-skills/session-handoff@sha256:c378e7344a933b81

The line at the top of this page pins the label v6.0.0, 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.
