Produces and refreshes `.docs/handoff.md`, a 200-line session-continuity runbook for coding agents. Captures git state, working-tree changes, last validation commands, session decisions, blockers, resume checklist, references, and greenfield scaffolds. Triggers on: "update handoff", "session handoff", "refresh handoff", "/handoff", "/handoff init", "resume checklist", "cold-start primer". Use this skill when ending, pausing, resuming, or transferring in-flight project work across agent sessions.
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 Maintains `.docs/handoff.md` as the project-local cold-start primer for the next coding agent or human developer. The file captures transient session state only: what changed, what was decided, what is blocked, and exactly how to resume. ## Reference Files | File | Contents | Load When | | --- | --- | --- | | `references/schema.md` | Verbatim handoff schema and line-budget rules | Always before writing | | `references/authority-boundaries.md` | Boundary between handoff, memory, CLAUDE.md, plans, and git | Always before writing | ## When To Use | Use handoff | Use another surface | | --- | --- | | In-flight work, uncommitted edits, current branch, blockers, resume steps | `git log` for committed history | | Session-scoped decisions and failed approaches | Memory or ADRs for durable project facts | | Immediate validation state and exact next command | `CLAUDE.md` for stable setup instructions | | Current roadmap cursor | Plan files for strategic roadmap content | ## Triggers - Direct commands: `/handoff`, `/handoff init` - Refresh phrases: "update handoff", "session handoff", "refresh handoff", "save handoff" …

How to install
mdr add mathews-tom/armory/handoff@sha256:c0350d96dc79d75bThe line at the top of this page pins the label v0.1.0, 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.
