What it does
Mex Relay is an agent skill from BenCodez/VotingPlugin. Prepare and manage durable MEX team handoffs. Use when the user asks to hand work to a person or team, prepare an end-of-session handoff, save what the next engineer needs, create a MEX Relay, take or close a Relay, or explicitly invokes /mex-relay or $mex-relay. Treat Relay as a memory and context baton, not chat, notifications, task assignment, issue tracking, or a Jira replacement; do not activate for ordinary status messages that are not durable handoffs.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including reference files (for example `.mex-managed.json`, `agents/openai.yaml` and `references/cli-workflows.md`).
It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Session handoff and Task management. It works with Jira.
When your agent uses it
- The user asks to hand work to a person
- Prepare an end-of-session handoff
- Save what the next engineer needs
- Create a MEX Relay
Example prompts
- “/mex-relay”
Workflow steps
8 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Infer the useful session state: a concise summary, current position, completed work, in-progress work, blockers, unresolved questions…
- For “whoever picks this up,” choose open-to-team. It includes future active project Members; no Member lookup is needed to save this local…
- Default to a standalone Relay. Use the local-save shortcut for a new draft; keep the structured preview/apply path for exact updates and…
- Include an existing relevant Workstream only as typed evidence. Never invent one or turn saving a handoff into Workstream creation.
- Add optional typed context references only when the referenced IDs, paths, commits, or URLs are known. Never invent provenance.
- Resolve the action-scoped runtime contract. For a new draft, mex relay draft save --from --json performs the exact local preview/apply…
- An explicit create/save/draft request authorizes that local write without another confirmation. Publication remains separate.
- Return /relays?view=drafts&draft= and state that the draft is checkout-local and nothing has been delivered or shared.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e0c48ef. 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
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
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
Mex Relay loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.9k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 118 tokens; SKILL.md has 539 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); 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 539 words (~1,086 tokens).
“Prepare durable team handoffs that another engineer can continue from. Never represent a Relay as a sent message or notification.”
