Write an agent session handoff: state, decisions, unfinished work, checks, next steps. Use for "hand this off" or a context window running out.
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: Move Context Between Agent Sessions Compress the current session into a small markdown document another agent session can continue from. A handoff is a one-way, lossy carry: whatever the next session needs has to be written down explicitly, because everything else is gone. The point is to keep each session focused and inside its high-attention context window instead of dragging one bloated thread forward. Inspired by Matt Pocock's `/handoff` skill. The failure mode it exists to prevent is **relitigation**: the next session reopens a decision the current one had already settled, because the doc recorded *what* was decided but not *why*. Every locked decision carries its rationale for this reason. ## When to use - Switching roles across sessions: planner -> implementer, implementer -> reviewer - Kicking off an AFK or unattended run from a clean context - Fanning out to parallel sessions that each own one slice of the work - Prototyping or spiking in a throwaway session without polluting the current one - The current context window is full or degrading and you want a fresh start with only essentials …

How to install
mdr add iuliandita/skills/session-handoff@sha256:99ccc7499702d763The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261105.aa96fb6, 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.
