Produce a self-contained context payload that lets a fresh agent continue without re-deriving what this session established. Use for cross-boundary transfer such as switching tools, starting a clean session, or handing off to another agent, and for DIY delegation flows where a focused side-session returns context to the parent.

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

Produce a self-contained context payload that lets a fresh agent continue this work without re-deriving or re-learning what this session already established. The argument is what the next session is for — use it to shape what's captured and what's left out.

Capture what's hard-won — anything the new session would have to re-do otherwise. For each item that travels, carry the grounding with it, so the receiver inherits the working state rather than just the conclusion. *Examples (illustrative, not required):* a settled decision travels with the alternatives considered and why this won; a verified fact travels with how it was verified (file:line, command output, doc URL); an open thread travels with what would close it. If a particular handoff isn't structured around decisions, facts, or threads, capture whatever the goal requires — with its grounding.

Reference other artifacts (PRDs, manifests, ADRs, issues, PRs, commits, diffs) by path or URL — don't restate their content.

Name the skills the next agent should invoke when the work ahead maps to them — the receiver may not know the toolbox it's inheriting.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add doodledood/manifest-dev/handoff@sha256:c851a059075607f1

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260903.fce7e90, 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.
