Maintain or resume repository-root HANDOFF.md for cross-session work. Use when recording a task arc that may span sessions, preparing its next-session handoff, or continuing and verifying an earlier arc.

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

# Session Handoff

Keep one compact repository-root `HANDOFF.md` that transfers control to a cold session without
requiring the prior conversation. Treat it as a snapshot: repository evidence always wins.

Keep each fact in its authoritative layer:

- Git stores commits and diffs; link `git log` or `git show`, never mirror a commit table.
- Memory files store durable cross-task or cross-project knowledge.
- Project memory stores project-local state.
- A dedicated map or tracker stores its own execution status; link it instead of mirroring it.
- `HANDOFF.md` stores the current task arc: active work, settled decisions, deviations, and
  intentional omissions.

If `HANDOFF.md` is missing or needs structural repair, read [references/format.md](references/format.md)
before recording.

## Resume

1. Read `Active Work`, then `Decisions`, guardrails, blockers, and any suggested skills relevant
   to the next action.
2. Re-verify load-bearing facts with `git status`, `git log`, referenced artifacts, and targeted
   checks. Prefer current repository evidence over the snapshot.
3. Continue the recorded next action. Preserve settled defaults unless the user explicitly
   reopens them.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add pengqianhan/ai-human-research-os/session-handoff@sha256:b6d7dba4c99dbfc6

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260722.7b0c228, 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.
