Create a self-contained temporary handoff document when the user asks to transfer the session to a new chat or runs /handoff.
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
Create a standalone document that lets a person or agent continue the work in a new conversation. Follow the [writing contract](../../shared/writing.md). Preserve the user’s request, useful discoveries, exact decisions, current state, relevant files, and the next action. Do not copy the conversation or raw logs.
## Compute the path
Use the OS temp directory, never the repo:
```
${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/handoff-YYYY-MM-DD-HHMMSS-{slug}.md
```
- `{slug}` = kebab-case topic, from `$ARGUMENTS` if passed, else inferred from the work.
- Resolve `${TMPDIR:-/tmp}` with Bash; macOS may not use `/tmp`.
## Write
Write the absolute path. Keep the first three sections. Include the later sections only when they carry useful information.
```markdown
# Handoff: {topic}
## What the user wants
[Explain the requested result and why it matters. Preserve exact wording only for decisions that the next conversation must not reinterpret.]
## Where things stand
[Explain what works, what is incomplete or broken, and the evidence. Give exact files, line numbers, and errors where they matter.]
## Next step
…Read the whole file at its exact version.
How to install
mdr add reidemeister94/development-skills/handoff@sha256:99e37a7de099f715The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260919.a9f7da5, 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.
