Writes a compact handoff document and a ready-to-paste resume prompt that let a fresh Claude Code session resume the current task without the old conversation. Use when an AUTO-PAUSE notice says the usage-limit pause threshold was reached, or when the user asks to write a handoff, wrap up for a new session, save progress before the usage limit, pause here, or hand off to a fresh session. Do not use for summarizing finished work, changelogs, commit messages, or PR descriptions.
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
# Writing handoffs A handoff is one Markdown file that lets a fresh session continue this task with no access to this conversation. Its reader is capable but has zero context: only the handoff, the repo, and the resume prompt the user pastes. ## Critical - Use as few turns as possible. Usage may be nearly gone, and every turn re-reads this whole conversation. Target: one call for facts (manual path only), one Write, one final message. - No exploration and no new work. Write from what you already know. Do not open files only to describe them. - Do not switch models. - Never copy secrets, tokens, passwords, or `.env` values into the handoff. ## Workflow 1. **Reach a safe point.** If an edit is in flight and one or two calls finish it, finish it. Otherwise revert it, or record its exact state (`path:line`, what is done, what is not). Start nothing new. If an AUTO-PAUSE notice gives a tool-call limit, stay within it. If an operation outside the repo is still running or its result is unconfirmed (a deploy, migration, CI run, remote job, sent request, background process), do not wait for it or retry it: record it under Outside operations. 2. **Get the facts.** …

How to install
mdr add k45sle/claude-auto-pause/writing-handoffs@sha256:0cc390f711089a78The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261022.7e336af, 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.
