Compact an entire agent session into a handoff document so a NEW session resumes exactly where this one stopped, as if the context window had been extended rather than reset. Use when the context window is getting high (default threshold ~500k tokens, beyond which the model degrades and starts inventing), when work must continue past the end of this session, or on any variant of: hagamos el handoff, pasa el contexto a otra sesion, continua esto en otra sesion, hand this session over, continue…
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 A handoff is **context transplanted, not context summarized**. The successor is not a reader being briefed on someone else's work; it IS this session, with a new window. Everything it needs to act must be on disk, addressable, and true when it reads. The skill is small on purpose. The heavy artifact is the markdown it produces, and the whole contract lives in `.agents/skills/session-handoff/references/capture-contract.md`. ## What this is not | Looks similar | Actually is | Use | |---|---|---| | hand a scoped task to another session and supervise it | orchestration: Task, Dispatch, mailbox, the work comes back | `/orca-orchestration` | | hand work away and stop caring | ownership transfer of a TASK, one direction, no return | the binary's own `orca-cli` guide | | remember a decision for next month | durable cross-session fact, project-scoped | Engram (`mem_save`) | | shrink the window and keep going | harness compaction, lossy, not addressable, not yours to shape | nothing to do | | **hand the whole SESSION to its own successor** | **this skill** | here | …

How to install
mdr add upex-galaxy/agentic-qa-boilerplate/session-handoff@sha256:3d4914bffcd415c8The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261104.10059d0, 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.
