handoff skillA

handoff is agent-read markdown (skill) from techwolf-ai/ai-first-toolkit: Write a session handoff at the end of a session so the next session can start from where this one stopped without rereading the whole conversation. Use when user says "handoff", "wrap up", "write a handoff", "end of session", "park this session", "save where we are", or to RESUME with "/handoff read", "pick up the handoff", "read the handoff". Writes a tight resume note (HANDOFF.md) into the working directory, not a full transcript. Scope is the current project's resume note only, not searching .

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

What the file says

# Handoff

Capture the minimum a fresh session needs to continue this work: what it is, where it stands, the exact next action. The next session reads ONE file instead of replaying the conversation. Optimized for "start from here", not "understand everything that happened".

The handoff is written to **the current working directory** (the project/folder being worked in), as `HANDOFF.md` at its root. It travels with the project, not with any tool's memory.

Two modes:
- **Write** (default): no args, or "handoff", "wrap up", "park this session", "save where we are".
- **Read**: "/handoff read", "pick up the handoff", "read the handoff".

**Scope.** Handoff only reads/writes the resume note in the current project directory. It does not search or summarize past sessions ("where did I work on X / when did I last do Y" is a different job). And a bare "resume" or "continue" may belong to a project-specific resume command rather than this skill — only fire handoff-read on the explicit phrasings above.

## Write mode

### 1. Reconstruct the session from THIS conversation

Do NOT re-run searches or re-read source files. Pull everything from what already happened in this session:

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

Latest version
mdr add techwolf-ai/ai-first-toolkit/handoff@git:20260922.9a5bf16
Exact content
mdr add techwolf-ai/ai-first-toolkit/handoff@sha256:eb3e1004ba9534c1

Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
