Clipboard-ready handoff prompt for another agent to investigate or continue a task.
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.

Do not paste the full prompt unless the user asks. ## Handoff Prompt Rules The prompt must: - Start a discussion, not a command-only work order. - Ask the receiving agent to do an extensive independent review before changing anything. - Make clear that the receiving agent owns that review; the handoff only gives …

How to install
mdr add openclaw/agent-skills/handoff@sha256:1c4ddff7f185512eThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260614.ca7ab87, 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.
