Write a compact handoff document so a fresh agent, thread, or session can continue. Use when context is long, the user wants to switch threads, work must be paused, or the agent needs to summarize current state without duplicating existing docs or diffs.
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 ## Goal Create a compact continuation artifact that lets another agent resume the task without re-reading the entire thread or losing important decisions. ## Trigger conditions - The user asks for a handoff, checkpoint, resume note, or context summary. - The current thread is long or close to compaction. - Work must pause before validation, review, merge, or release. ## When to use - Use when another agent, thread, or future session must continue the same work. - Use before compacting a long-running implementation or review thread. ## When not to use - Do not use for a final answer when the task is complete. - Do not use to replace source files, issues, PR descriptions, or validation logs. ## Inputs to inspect - Latest user instruction, current objective, changed files, validation commands, failures, and blockers. - Use `git status --short` and `git diff --stat` when working inside a repository. ## Rules - Reference files, diffs, PRs, issues, and reports by path or URL instead of duplicating content. - Include only decisions, evidence, validation status, blockers, and next steps needed to continue. - Separate confirmed facts from assumptions. …

How to install
mdr add stark-ai-de/agent-skills/handoff@sha256:5b20d981b90bab97The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.1.1, 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.
