Write a structured handoff / resume document for this session so the next session can pick up exactly where this one left off. Use when the user asks to write a handoff, "prep for resume", "session handoff", or when context is high and you want to preserve state before /compact or /clear. Triggers: "/handoff", "handoff", "write a handoff", "prep for resume", "session handoff", "write a resume doc", "handoff before clear". Do NOT use for durable documentation — a handoff is disposable session…
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 Write a structured resume document that lets the next Claude session understand exactly where this session left off — without needing any of this conversation's context. Accept an optional free-form `<focus>` argument. If provided, use it as the slug (lowercased, spaces replaced with hyphens). If omitted, slug = `auto`. ## Output location ``` $PROJECT_ROOT/.claude/handoffs/<ISO-timestamp>-<slug>.md ``` For example: - `/handoff auth-token-bug` → `.claude/handoffs/2026-05-25T14-32-00-auth-token-bug.md` - `/handoff` → `.claude/handoffs/2026-05-25T14-32-00-auto.md` Create the `.claude/handoffs/` directory if it doesn't exist. It should be gitignored — add `/.claude/handoffs/` to `.gitignore` if not already present. ## Required sections Write these sections in order. Keep each section tight. ### Current state 1-2 sentences. Where are we right now? What's working, what's half-done? ### What we tried (MOST IMPORTANT) Bullet list of failed/abandoned approaches and why each failed. This is the highest-value section — the next session must not re-attempt the same dead ends. If nothing failed, write "Nothing failed — clean path to current state." ### Key decisions …

How to install
mdr add jasonm4130/claude-skills/handoff@sha256:f3cbad91cabad6afThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260830.df950a0, 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.
