Review handoffs for confirmed archiving: superseded, done or stale candidates, plus separate assisted review of old/uncertain rows. Age alone never proves completion. Archives files, never deletes or resumes work.

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

# Handoffs-tidy — retire handoffs that no longer point at live work

Keep `~/.agents/handoffs/` focused through four review groups. Only the first three have
completion/staleness evidence; the fourth is explicitly uncertain:

- **Superseded** — a newer handoff continues the same thread (same branch / topic / same-day re-wrap).
- **Done** — the work shipped: its PR merged, every referenced bead is closed, the branch landed, or
  its Jira ticket is Done. These are usually **never re-wrapped**, so nothing supersedes them — they
  just sit in the picker looking `🟢 live` until you notice the work is long gone.
- **Stale** — abandoned: the PR was closed unmerged, or the branch is gone with no merge evidence.
- **Old and signal-less** — unknown branch liveness with no usable PR signal or resolvable beads. Age only earns an assisted
  question; it never makes the handoff an automatic archive candidate.

This command finds all four and archives the ones you confirm. Completed context is retained for
**14 days** after both handoff creation and verified completion, or while completion timing is unknown;
superseded rows are the sole immediate exception. Nothing is deleted — archived

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add flurdy/agent-skills/handoffs-tidy@sha256:398cc4a173a47b6d

The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.10.0, 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.
