handoff skillA

Name: handoff
Author: reidemeister94

handoff is agent-read markdown (skill) from reidemeister94/development-skills: Create a self-contained temporary handoff document when the user asks to transfer the session to a new chat or runs /handoff..

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns 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.
