Preserve critical state when a session approaches context limits so the next session can pick up seamlessly. Use this skill whenever you're in a long, multi-step workflow, working with Google Workspace resources (Docs, Slides, Drive), creating external resources that have IDs you need to track, running multi-step pipelines that might need to be resumed, approaching context limits, or when the user says things like "save state", "let's pause", "I'll come back later", "save progress…
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: Session Handoff ## Purpose Preserve critical state when a session approaches context limits, so the next session (or `/resume-pipeline`) can pick up seamlessly. Prevents lost work when context compaction occurs or the user starts a new conversation. ## When to Apply Automatically when: - A long multi-step workflow is in progress - A multi-step Google Workspace workflow is in progress - The pipeline involves external resource IDs (doc IDs, slide IDs, Drive folders) - Before any pause point where the user might come back later --- ## What to Save Write to the EXACT path `working/session_state.yaml` (not `session_state_handoff.yaml` or any variant). The `/resume-pipeline` command looks for this specific file path. This file MUST be comprehensive, regardless of how simple the handoff seems. Capture ALL of the following information: **Required Fields (always include):** - ✅ Dataset name and connection details - ✅ Task description (what analysis/work is in progress) - ✅ Pipeline progress (what's complete, what's next) - ✅ All external resource IDs (Google Docs, Slides, Drive files) with URLs - ✅ Local file inventory (working/ and outputs/ directories) …

How to install
mdr add ai-analyst-lab/ai-analyst/session-handoff@sha256:b9bbcf862796f988The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260902.b370de6, 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.
