Human-only producer of a gauntlet handoff brief - invokes pi-cohort's `handoff` skill, then appends the gauntlet process-state section (phase/plan tracker status) to the brief it wrote, per the shared brief contract. Run at the end of a session whose flow a fresh session will continue with /skill:gauntlet-resume.
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
> **Related skills:** Pairs with `/skill:gauntlet-resume`, the sole consumer of the brief this skill finishes. The grammar both read is `../gauntlet-resume/reference/brief-contract.md` - this file cites it and restates none of it. # Gauntlet Handoff ## Overview pi-cohort's `handoff` skill writes the flow-agnostic core of a brief (six headings, ending at `## Skills loaded`). Only this package knows what `phase_tracker` and `plan_tracker` state mean, so this skill appends that state as one more section, in the layout fixed by `reference/brief-contract.md` (`## Producers`). Runs in the main loop: tracker state is extension state no subagent can read. **Announce at start:** "I'm using the gauntlet-handoff skill to write a resumable handoff brief." ## Boundaries - Reads: `../gauntlet-resume/reference/brief-contract.md` in full (resolve against this skill's directory) before any other action; the transcript; git metadata by path; `pi list` output; cohort's `skills/handoff/SKILL.md`. - Writes: only an append to the brief cohort wrote, wherever the resolved path puts it (a repository-local `--out` included). Never a second file, never the trackers, never …

How to install
mdr add jjuraszek/pi-gauntlet/gauntlet-handoff@sha256:3facc7666b1c6917The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261020.c79e361, 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.
