What it does
Ad Handoff is an agent skill from alexandremendoncaalvaro/CorridorKey-Runtime. Compact the current session into a handoff document a fresh agent can pick up from. Saves to the OS temp dir (never the repo). Captures live state — current branch, open artifacts, unresolved decisions, in-progress diff, recent errors — references existing artifacts (PRD / spec / task / ADR) by path instead of duplicating them, and lists suggested next skills. Redacts secrets before writing. Triggers on "handoff", "hand off this session", "compact this conversation", "save context for next session", "pass to…
Its SKILL.md is about 4.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`).
It sits in Product & Project Management, covering Architecture decision records and PRD writing. The repository describes itself as: Native AI keying runtime and OFX plugin for DaVinci Resolve, built in collaboration with Corridor Digital.
When your agent uses it
- Hand off this session
- Compact this conversation
- Save context for next session
- Pass to another agent
Example prompts
- “handoff”
- “hand off this session”
- “compact this conversation”
- “/ad-handoff”
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- The argument the user passed (ad-handoff merge-cleanup → merge-cleanup).
- Current branch name with non-alphanumeric chars replaced by -.
- session as the fallback.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e632fa5. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
git
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Ad Handoff loads about 4.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 152 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,471 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check: notes
The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.
- NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:49
- Environment variable values (`.env`, `process.env.X` payloads, anything credential-shaped).
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,471 words (~4,157 tokens).
“Process scaffold for compacting a long or near-exhausted session into a handoff document. Output is a single markdown file in the OS temp directory; the next session reads it and continues. Helper, not blocker — the senior engineer keeps decision…”
