Hand off an on-call rotation by transferring open incidents, watch items, and the tribal context runbooks miss. Use at the end of a shift or rotation when the pager passes to the next responder and continuity of understanding matters.
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
# On-call handoff A handoff passes the pager from the responder going off shift to the one coming on, along with everything the incoming person needs to not start cold. It fails when it becomes a dropped link and a "you've got it": the next engineer inherits open incidents with no thread, misses the deploy that is about to page, and rediscovers by outage the workaround that was never written down. The whole point is to move understanding, not just the pager. ## Method 1. **Do it live, with overlap.** Hold a short synchronous call, ten to fifteen minutes, where the outgoing responder walks the incoming one through the state. A wall of text nobody reads before their first page is not a handoff; a conversation where questions get asked is. 2. **Walk every open incident.** For each one give current status, what has been tried, who else is involved, the next planned step, and the ticket. An incident handed over as "still investigating" with no linked thread is one the next person restarts from zero at the worst time. 3. **List the watch items.** Name what is not paging yet but might: a deploy that went out an hour ago, a degraded upstream dependency, a …

How to install
mdr add amey-thakur/ai-skills/oncall-handoff@sha256:03cf1d51e812ec95The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260728.fac4544, 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.
