Write a dense handoff file and tell the user to resume in a new chat before a long context degrades output quality. Use when a chunk of work is done, the topic is about to switch, the model starts forgetting context, or a long orchestration run is mid-flight.

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

# /ccc-handoff — Hand off to a fresh session

**CC Commander** · /ccc-handoff · a resumable handoff file plus an explicit instruction to continue in a new chat.

Output quality drops as a context window fills. This skill preserves the session's state in a file and moves the work to a fresh chat. Run it often, at natural boundaries, not only when a session is failing.

## When to use / when not to

Use it:

- After finishing a coherent chunk of work (a feature, a fix, a review pass), even mid-session.
- Before starting an unrelated task in the same chat. A topic switch is a handoff point.
- As soon as the model slows down, forgets earlier context, or makes mistakes it normally would not.
- Mid-way through a long orchestration run (`/ccc-orchestrate`, `/ccc-plan-exec`, a Workflow run). Long multi-step executor loops degrade context fastest; do not wait for the run to finish.
- At the end of a work session. This overlaps `/ccc-save-session`; session end is one trigger among many here.

If the question is "hand off now or wait", hand off now. Frequent handoffs are cheap; degraded output is not.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add kevinzai/commander/ccc-handoff@sha256:e5a71856d2dc9913

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261025.7eae921, 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.
