handoff SKILL.md skillA

handoff from h-zahran/delivery-kit is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned

mdr add h-zahran/delivery-kit/handoff@git:20261012.4fcac42

Pins git:20261012.4fcac42 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Use when the context guard hook fires, when the user says "hand off", "continue in a new session", or "stop after batch X and hand off" — makes the work durable, writes a standardised handoff document, and prints the exact resume prompt so the next session continues with zero re-discovery.

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

# Handoff — end this session cleanly, resume in a fresh one

The goal: the next session should reach full working speed from ONE file read.
Never start new work after this skill is invoked.

## Where the document goes

Resolve `handoff.docsDir` with the same precedence every other setting in this
plugin uses (documented in the plugin's `docs/configuration.md`): start from
the default `docs/handoffs`; if `~/.delivery-kit.json` exists and sets it,
take that; if `.delivery-kit.json` at the repository root sets it, take that
instead; and the environment variable `DELIVERY_KIT_HANDOFF_DIR` beats both
files. A missing or malformed file just leaves the previous value standing.
Below, `<docsDir>` means the resolved value.

## Checklist (create a todo per item)

### 1. Land the current step

- Finish only the atomic step in progress — a file edit, a test run, not a batch.
- **Do not commit. Do not push. Do not stage anything.** Leave the working tree
  exactly as the developer had it. Git history and shared branches are theirs,
  and a handoff is not a licence to write to either: the commit message would be
  yours rather than theirs, a push is outward-facing and hard to undo, and this
…

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add h-zahran/delivery-kit/handoff@sha256:eb7ead953900969f

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261012.4fcac42, 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.
