Hand a conversation to the-loop. Use when the developer says "hand this to the-loop", "file this for the-loop", "send this to the loop", or runs /the-loop:handoff — in Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, or the Claude chat and desktop apps. Drafts the spec artifacts the conversation supports (brainstorm, requirements, design, testing plan), runs a four-question interview, files the GitHub issue (and an optional linked Jira copy), commits the spec on a branch when a repository is checked out, posts a…
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
# Hand a conversation to the-loop A developer who has talked an idea through with Claude should not have to re-type it as a spec. This skill turns the conversation into the artifacts it supports, files them on a GitHub issue with a **handoff record**, and lets the-loop's poller start the work at the stage the developer reached instead of at the first phase. > **The rule:** draft, interview, confirm, then post. Nothing leaves this conversation > before the developer confirms the summary, and the furthest artifact is never approved > here — its approval gate on the ticket does that. The spec behind this skill is the-loop's [issue-517](https://github.com/MadaraUchiha-314/the-loop/issues/517) (`docs/specs/issue-517/`). ## When to use it, and when to refuse Use it when the developer asks to hand the conversation, an idea, or a draft spec to the-loop, in any words, or runs `/the-loop:handoff`. **Refuse, and post nothing, when nobody is at the keyboard.** A handoff is a developer-attended act. Stop and say "a handoff needs the developer present; run it from your own session" when any of these holds: - the prompt carries the-loop's `interaction mode: work-item` directive; …

How to install
mdr add madarauchiha-314/the-loop/handoff-to-the-loop@sha256:f443e39337fb918aThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261022.33e8fe8, 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.
