What it does
Handoff is an agent skill from alirezarezvani/claude-skills. Compact the current conversation into a handoff document for another agent to pick up. References existing artifacts (PRDs, plans, ADRs, issues, commits, diffs) by path or URL instead of duplicating them. Use when user wants to hand off the conversation to a fresh agent or starts a new session that picks up prior work.
Its SKILL.md is about 530 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 9 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/companion_tooling.md`, `references/deduplication_discipline.md` and `references/handoff_structure.md`).
It sits in Product & Project Management, covering Architecture decision records and PRD writing. The repository describes itself as: 380 Claude Code skills & agent skills & plugins (30+ Agents, 70+ custom commands, 380+ skills, customizable references, scripts)for Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor, and 8… The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- User wants to hand off the conversation to a fresh agent
- Starts a new session that picks up prior work
Example prompts
- “/handoff”
Requirements
- Python 3
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 19392f7. 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
Ships 3 files in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
github.com
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
Handoff loads about 532 tokens when it runs, and up to ~6k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 82 tokens; SKILL.md has 172 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 passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

Handoff
Derived from Matt Pocock's handoff (MIT). Matt's no-duplication discipline preserved verbatim. Additions: tools + references + cs-* wrapper (see references/companion_tooling.md).
Write a handoff document summarising the current conversation so a fresh agent can continue the work. Save it to a path produced by mktemp -t handoff-XXXXXX.md (read the file before you write to it).
Suggest the skills to be used, if any, by the next session.
Do not duplicate content already captured in other artifacts (PRDs, plans, ADRs, issues, commits, diffs). Reference them by path or URL instead.
If the user passed arguments, treat them as a description of what the next session will focus on and tailor the doc accordingly.
Sections
- Goal of next session (from user argument or inferred)
- State of play (what's done, what's blocking)
- Open decisions (what the next agent must decide)
- Skills to use (concrete list)
- Artifacts (paths/URLs to PRDs, plans, ADRs, issues, branches, PRs — do not duplicate)
Tooling
See references/companion_tooling.md. Tools: template + dedup + recommender. Agent: cs-handoff-author. Command: /cs:handoff.
