Write a handoff file at .turbo/handoff/<YYYY-MM-DD>-<slug>.md capturing current session state — task, status, open decisions, in-flight changes, next step — so a fresh session can continue without re-deriving context. Use when the user asks to "create a handoff", "create handoff", "save handoff", "handoff before compact", "save session state", "handoff for next session", or "capture session state".

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

# Create Handoff

Write a session handoff file at `.turbo/handoff/<YYYY-MM-DD>-<slug>.md` so a fresh session can pick up where this one left off.

## Step 1: Resolve the Target Path

Get today's date: `date +%Y-%m-%d`.

Pick a slug for the current task:

- Lowercase
- Replace non-alphanumeric characters with hyphens
- Collapse consecutive hyphens
- Trim leading and trailing hyphens
- Truncate to 40 characters at a word boundary

If the work is anchored to an existing plan at `.turbo/plans/<slug>.md`, reuse that plan's slug verbatim.

The user may pass an explicit slug or output path; honor it.

Resolve the repo root with `git rev-parse --show-toplevel`, except inside a linked worktree — where `git rev-parse --git-dir` differs from `--git-common-dir` — in which case use the parent of the common dir, so the handoff lands in the main checkout rather than in a worktree that is destroyed with its branch.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add tobihagemann/turbo/create-handoff@sha256:d93e0722dc456e85

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260923.29a1071, 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.
