Use when ongoing work or conversational context must continue in a new conversation, session, or agent with no shared history. Triggers: 'handoff', 'prepare context for next chat', 'summarize for a new session', 'continue this in another conversation'. Not for same-chat status updates or repository documentation.
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
# Handoff Produce a transfer-ready handoff for in-progress work. ## Writing Style Write the handoff in the voice of a professional technical writer. Prefer ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English: short sentences, one instruction per sentence, active voice, and one term per concept. Keep identifiers, commands, paths, and file names exact. ## Fidelity by Type Compress by item type, not at one uniform rate. Summarize a rule and it may no longer state the rule. Summarize a narrative and nothing important is lost. - Constraints and procedures: record verbatim, and name the source. - Decisions, rationale, preferences, and open questions: compress to the substance and the reason. - Session narrative: drop it and record the end state instead. A constraint is any rule that limits or directs the work: a prohibition, a required tool or command, a fixed format or output shape, a threshold, an ordering requirement. Imperative wording is easy to find: "never edit the lockfile". Declarative wording is harder and is lost more often: "this repo signs commits with the agent key", "the endpoint rejects payloads over 4 MB". Record both. …

How to install
mdr add ahgraber/skills/handoff@sha256:0fb3130fb5fc14ccThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260903.c4ccd73, 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.
