Close out a finished slice of an epic before the next one starts. Sorts everything the slice left open (follow-up tickets, deferred bugs, unautomated scenarios) into the next slice, before release, or later; keeps one Carry-over comment on the epic; runs every test in the epic so far, so a later slice can't quietly break an earlier one, and makes the tracker match; rewrites the next slice's kickoff comments so they're current; and checks every repo's stack is healthy. Use after run-slice…
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
# Slice Handoff A slice rarely ends with nothing left over. Exploratory testing finds bugs that wait, code review produces "ticket for later" items, a later slice reopens an earlier slice's test, and the plan changes under the next slice's kickoff. This skill deals with all of it once, in one place, before the next slice starts. It changes the tracker and reads GitHub. It changes no code. The one step that runs tests goes to the session in the repo that owns them. **First, load the team config with `roost-config`.** ## Inputs - **DONE:** the story that just finished. - **NEXT:** the next story in the epic's story order. If DONE was the last slice, there is no NEXT: skip step 5, and anything sorted "next slice" becomes "before release". - **EPIC:** DONE's parent. ## 1. Gather what's open Read everything first; decide nothing yet. Don't trust that the slice recorded everything: look wider than its links, and compare the sources. …

How to install
mdr add beakpoint-insights/roost/slice-handoff@sha256:002de96b68191d5eThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261026.505a1da, 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.
