Write or resume a handoff document so the next agent session can pick up the current work. Use when context is filling up, when ending a session mid-task, or at the start of a new session that should continue prior work.
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
# Session Handoff Bridge between agent sessions. Optimized for the next session reading the doc cold, with full tool access but zero conversation history. ## Modes Parse the first argument from user input. | Argument | Mode | What it does | | --- | --- | --- | | (none) | **create** | Write/update the handoff doc for the current work | | `resume` | **resume** | Read the existing handoff and bootstrap context for this session | | `show` | **show** | Print the existing handoff doc unchanged, then stop | | `path` | **path** | Print the resolved storage path and stop | ## Common: resolve the storage path Always start with the helper. Never construct the path yourself. ```bash result=$(scripts/handoff-path.sh) status=$(echo "$result" | cut -f1) # existing | new path=$(echo "$result" | cut -f2) scope=$(echo "$result" | cut -f3) # repo:org/name or dir:/abs/path ``` The helper writes to `<repo-root>/.notes/handoff.md` inside a git repo, or `~/.agents/handoff/dir-<hash>.md` outside one. --- ## Create mode (no argument) This is the default. Write a handoff doc tuned for the *next agent session*. ### Step 1: Confirm the scope …

How to install
mdr add haacked/dotfiles/handoff@sha256:fdfbc8b91c59022bThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260821.de0b8f1, 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.
