Save provenance, decisions, phases, context policy, and next steps as kernel.handoff/v1. Triggers: handoff, save, pause, context, continue later.
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
<skill id="handoff"> <purpose> Compile the current task into an authoritative, resumable JSON manifest. The JSON file is CANONICAL. A markdown rendering may be generated for humans but is never a second source of truth. Why manifest-first + bounded (EXP-L21): what a decision needs is flat (~50-70k tokens) regardless of session length; the accumulating transcript is almost pure decoration by late session. A handoff that says "read the conversation" recreates the waste. A handoff that pins exact selectors + phases lets the next session reconstruct ONLY the load-bearing state. Reference: skills/context-mgmt/SKILL.md </purpose> <on_start> ```bash agentdb read-start ``` </on_start> <phase id="1_extract" name="EXTRACT STATE"> Capture (these become manifest sections, not prose): - objective: goal, success_conditions (observable), non_goals - contract: governing _meta/contracts/ file if one exists, invariants, assumptions, decisions_accepted (+rationale), alternatives_rejected (+reason, REQUIRED by the schema even when empty) — every idea the user or you ruled out this session, so the next session never re-proposes it …

How to install
mdr add ariaxhan/kernel-claude/handoff@sha256:e178b4d113cfa7a0The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260912.f2b35bd, 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.
