Write or consume a session-continuation handoff document under `.vinta-ai-workflows/handoffs/` so a fresh agent session (or a different agent / teammate) can resume in-flight work without re-deriving context. Use when the user says "hand this off", "write a handoff", "wrap this up for another agent", "prepare a handoff doc", or — in resume mode — "pick up from the handoff", "resume from handoff", or points at a handoff file. Captures goal, current state, decisions with rationale, files…
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 Context dies with the session. A handoff document is the bridge: everything a fresh agent needs to continue the work, written down while the outgoing agent still knows it. The reader has none of your conversation history — write for someone who knows the codebase conventions but nothing about this task. Two modes. Pick by what the user asked for: - **Write mode** — capture the current task into a handoff doc. Trigger: "hand this off", "wrap up for another agent", "write a handoff before we stop". - **Resume mode** — start from an existing handoff doc. Trigger: "resume from the handoff", "pick up where the last session left off", or the user pastes/points at a handoff file. ## Write mode ### 1. Gather real state — never from memory alone Collect each of these from the repo, not from what you recall doing: 1. `git status --short` + `git diff --stat` — uncommitted work. 2. `git log --oneline <default-branch>..HEAD` — commits this task produced (skip if on the default branch). 3. Current branch name and its upstream/base. …

How to install
mdr add vintasoftware/vinta-ai-workflows/handoff@sha256:77e10b96faa7027fThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261003.81d5d7e, 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.
