pan handoff <conv> — agent-authored conversation handoff that spawns a new conversation. Keep the focus short and steering; the hard cap is 10000 characters (PAN-3737). Pass --title to name the successor. --fresh starts a clean conversation with no summary and no parent link.

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

# pan handoff

Create a new conversation seeded by a handoff document written by the live source agent.

## Quick command

```bash
pan handoff [conv] [focus text...]
```

The trailing text after the conversation reference becomes the focus — no flag required.

> Keep the focus short and steering; do NOT pack backstory/context into it — the author reads the full source transcript for that, and long briefs belong in a file the focus points at. The hard cap is 10,000 characters (multi-line is fine; PAN-3737) — a longer focus is rejected with `Fork request rejected: focus must be 10000 characters or fewer` and no conversation is created.

## Where to run it, and where the successor lives

Two separate directories are involved, and each has its own rule:

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add eltmon/overdeck/pan-handoff@sha256:3c17f5f1ef18fc7e

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261020.42a9ddc, 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.
