Generate a structured handoff document capturing current progress, open tasks, key decisions, and context needed to resume work. Use when ending a session, saying "continue later", "save progress", "session summary", or "pick up where I left off".
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
Different from wrap-up. Wrap-up is a checklist for *you*. Handoff is a document written for the *next session*.
## Trigger
Use when saying "handoff", "continue later", "pass to next session", "session transfer", or ending a session and wanting to resume smoothly.
## Workflow
1. Gather current state from git.
2. List completed, in-progress, and pending work.
3. Note key decisions made and their reasoning.
4. Capture any learnings from this session.
5. Generate a resume command for the next session.
## Commands
```bash
git status
git diff --stat
git log --oneline -5
git branch --show-current
```
## Output
```markdown

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260718.7f7209d, 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.
