Use when a developer needs a DEV and QA handoff from changes between a feature branch and main or another base, with optional session-authorized Jira or GitHub context and comments; not for code review or executing project tests.
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
# Branch Handoff Create a complete local handoff from bounded diff evidence, not review or validation. Inspect the request first. An explicitly supplied Jira issue key/URL or GitHub PR number/URL is a platform target and prompts read consent. If neither a platform target nor an explicit local-only choice is present, load `<skill-dir>/references/platform-actions.md` and complete `context-discovery` before any repository or diff work. Skip context discovery when the request already supplies a target or explicitly chooses local-only. Explicit or discovered targets use the reference's preflight; explicit local-only performs no adapter lookup or platform network request. The collector is the sole code/diff inspection. Before it, do not run `ls`, `find`, `rg --files`, `git ls-files`, or direct target-repository source reads. Let `<skill-dir>` be the directory containing this `SKILL.md`. …

How to install
mdr add phalegethon/the-agentic-fieldbook/branch-handoff@sha256:9172cf32502e5a53The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.2.1, 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.
