Creates or resumes a portable continuity record for a data-science task, keeping SAP and real-data gates. Use when work moves to another agent or a later session.

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

## Skill Value

- **Problem it solves:** Session context disappears while task constraints and verification evidence still matter.
- **Use when:** Work must move to another agent or later session without relying on chat history.
- **Output:** A concise, portable handoff record or a verified resume summary.
- **Ask only if:** The requested continuity source is ambiguous or stale evidence changes the safe next action.
- **Do not do:** Treat a handoff as authority to mutate code, expose restricted data, or bypass current validation.

Create a durable, human-readable continuity record when work must move to another session or agent. The record preserves objective, verified state, changed files, constraints, commands run, residual risks, and the next safe action; it never includes credentials, raw patient data, or private model transcripts.

## Routes

- Bare invocation or `create [focus]`: write a handoff under `docs/handoffs/` using the current repository state and conversation context.
- `resume <path or keywords>`: read the selected handoff, verify referenced paths still exist, and summarize what remains before acting.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add sajor2000/methodsmith/method-handoff@sha256:539255b6329d8a9d

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261016.73e5a37, 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.
