Create a session handoff for another agent, or resume, find, and read any user-selected continuity source. Use when work or conversation must continue without access to the current session history.

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

Preserve enough session context for a fresh agent to orient quickly, then keep the user in control of what happens next.

Creation and resume are deliberately open at their edges. The managed store and `ce-handoff/v1` metadata are defaults that make CE-created handoffs easy to find; they do not restrict where a handoff may be created or what a user may resume from. A resume source may come from any person, agent, or system and may use any readable format.

## Route the invocation

- A bare invocation always creates a handoff.
- `create [focus]` explicitly creates one. Use `focus` as the intended objective for the next session.
- `resume [source or keywords]` reads an explicit continuity source or discovers likely candidates.
- Natural-language creation and resume intent follows the same routes. This does not apply to ordinary requests to continue the current session unless the user expresses handoff intent.

## Create

Read `references/create.md` before writing anything. That read is not optional. It defines the managed-store shell block and path rules, the `ce-handoff/v1` frontmatter contract, the body contract, and the completion report.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add everyinc/compound-engineering-plugin/ce-handoff@sha256:3fb19a18d8ee0059

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260911.1a9f16c, 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.
