handing-off-to-engineering from richfrem/agent-plugins-skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Closes exploration and routes the result: assesses risk and rigor (tiers 1 to 3), writes the handoff package for the right consumer, runs read-only technical codebase discovery that produces a diagnostic brief, and scopes a re-entry when engineering finds an unresolved ambiguity. Use when the user says "prepare the handoff", "hand this to engineering", "what risk tier is this", "write the handoff package", "diagnose this codebase before we change it", or "we hit an unknown during the build".…
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
# Handing Off to Engineering Shared exit for all paths: [handoff-junction.mmd](references/handoff-junction.mmd). ## Contents - [Constraints](#constraints) • [Quick start](#quick-start) • [Workflow](#workflow) • [Verification](#verification) • [References](#references) ## Constraints - **Source grounding**: never invent requirements; cite the capture for every major claim. - **One Tier-3 rule** ([handoff guide](references/exploration-handoff-guide.md)): Tier 3 means a formal engineering cycle, never "deploy after review". Write `tier3-risk-summary.md` first and put it at the top of the package. Q5 alone is Tier 2 with ethics review. - **Final package**: no `[NEEDS HUMAN INPUT]`; unresolved items become `[UNCONFIRMED]` with a reason plus a `## Deferred Gaps` list; every readiness check carries evidence; emit `PHASE 4 COMPLETE`. - **Technical discovery is read-only**: no source changes outside `exploration/`. - **Control plane**: for structured engineering name the `os-control-intake` skill; do not import or path into `agent-agentic-os`. - Pick runtime and model through the `cli-agent` skill; never name models. ## Quick start From this skill's folder: ```bash …

How to install
mdr add richfrem/agent-plugins-skills/handing-off-to-engineering@sha256:841852d5bdade205The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261024.3106a82, 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.
