Decompose a session into typed handoff units and recall them later. Use when ending a session or resuming work whose prior state must be recovered.

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

Record where the thinking landed, not that a session happened.

## What It Is

A session ends with decisions half-made, questions half-answered, and
findings nobody wrote down. The next session starts from zero and
re-derives them, which costs tokens and forces the human to reconstruct
their own prior reasoning.

This skill decomposes a session into **typed units** and stages them for
later recall. The type is what makes recall trustworthy: a status update
stops being true in days, while a fact about how a tool behaves stays
true for years, so the two cannot share one shelf life.

## The Unit Schema

Every unit carries seven fields:

```
Thread: short, specific label phrased the way a later session would ask
Type:   finding | decision | open-thread | state
Date:   YYYY-MM-DD, when this thread reached its conclusion
State:  what landed by the end of the session, in 1-2 sentences
Why:    the load-bearing reasoning, including what was rejected
Open:   what remains unresolved, omitted entirely when nothing is
Ref:    the session this came from
```

The four types and how fast each ages:

| Type | What it is | Half-life |
|------|-----------|-----------|

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add athola/claude-night-market/session-handoff@sha256:d0560d226cde89fe

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260902.4a35d69, 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.
