Generate a Markdown handoff document summarizing the current conversation so another agent (Claude, Codex, opencode, pi, ampcode, Cursor, or a fresh session) can resume without re-deriving context. Produces docs/<slug>-handoff.md. Invoke explicitly when a session is near its context limit.
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 This skill runs **when context is nearly exhausted**. Budget is the constraint. Draft from what's already in conversation context — do not re-read files, do not grep, do not ask interview questions, do not run a self-check pass. One `Write` call is the goal. ## Output path `docs/<slug>-handoff.md` where `<slug>` is a 2–3 word kebab-case identifier derived from the session's main agenda (or the user's freeform argument to the slash command, if given). - Lowercase, alphanumeric + hyphens only. - If the file exists, append `-2`, `-3`, … — never clobber. - `mkdir -p docs` if needed. ## Audience Another LLM coding agent with Read/Write/Bash but **zero prior context**. Write for them: concrete paths, exact commands, exact error strings. No prose pleasantries, no recap of the dialogue. ## Sections (in order) Include only sections with real content. Omit or write `None this session.` for empty ones — never pad. 1. **Header** — one-line crux (what this session was about), branch, date, working dir. 2. **Agenda** — 2–4 sentences on the goal. 3. **Files read** — bullet list: path + half-sentence on why it mattered. 4. **Files written / edited** — table: `File | Change`. …

How to install
mdr add ananthanandanan/skills/handoff@sha256:d11992d2c5cf2b93The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260512.43e55ac, 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.
