Writes a dated handoff note in docs/handoffs when a session ends, before a context compaction, or when work passes to another person or agent. The note holds the goal, the state, a map of branches and pull requests, the decisions with who took them, the user's standing instructions, open questions, next steps and how to check the state. It shows the date and the session id, and the file name also has the date. It also resumes from the latest handoff and checks it against git before 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

# Handoff and resume

A handoff lets someone who was not in the session continue the work without asking. That someone can be a teammate, another agent or the same user next week. The note must hold what the repository does not: what the user decided, what the agent chose alone, and what comes next.

## Write a handoff

### 1. Collect the facts

Run the commands; do not write from memory.

- Date and time with the time zone: `date "+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M %Z"`.
- Session id. Find it in this order and write where it came from:
  1. A session variable of the agent tool, for example `CLAUDE_CODE_SESSION_ID` in Claude Code or `OPENCODE_SESSION_ID` in OpenCode.
  2. The transcript file of the session: in Claude Code, the newest `~/.claude/projects/<project folder>/<id>.jsonl`; in Codex, the newest `~/.codex/sessions/YYYY/MM/DD/rollout-<time>-<id>.jsonl` (its first line, `session_meta`, has `session_id`).
  3. If none gives it, write `unknown` and say what you checked.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add webreactiva/yesyak/handoff-and-resume@sha256:9a57491c8412483d

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261017.1a7af1c, 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.
