What it does

Handoff is an agent skill from feiskyer/claude-code-settings. 将当前对话压缩为交接文档(handoff document / session handoff brief),供下一个 agent 接续工作。手动调用 /handoff。

Its SKILL.md is about 170 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Session handoff and Multi-agent orchestration. The repository describes itself as: Curated skills, sub-agents, and config templates that supercharge Claude Code — research, image gen, GitHub automation & more. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Session handoff
  • Tasks that involve Multi-agent orchestration

Example prompts

  • “/handoff”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. 背景与目标 — 一句话概述当前任务
  2. 已完成工作 — 带路径/URL 引用
  3. 当前状态 — 进展到哪一步、卡在哪里
  4. 待办事项 — 下一个 agent 需要做什么
  5. 推荐技能 — 建议调用的 skill 列表
  6. 关键上下文 — 环境、分支、配置等必要信息

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 95dab59. 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

Handoff loads about 173 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 23 tokens; SKILL.md has 42 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~23
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~173

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.

输出位置

保存到 $TMPDIR/handoff-YYYY-MM-DD-HHMM.md(用实际时间戳替换)。生成后告知用户完整路径。

文档结构

按以下结构组织交接文档:

  1. 背景与目标 — 一句话概述当前任务
  2. 已完成工作 — 带路径/URL 引用
  3. 当前状态 — 进展到哪一步、卡在哪里
  4. 待办事项 — 下一个 agent 需要做什么
  5. 推荐技能 — 建议调用的 skill 列表
  6. 关键上下文 — 环境、分支、配置等必要信息

规则

  • 不要重复已存在于其他产物(规格文档、计划、ADR、issue、commit、diff)中的内容,改为通过路径或 URL 引用。
  • 脱敏处理:删除 API key、密码、个人身份信息等敏感内容。
  • 如果用户传入了参数,将其视为下一次会话的重点方向,据此调整文档内容。
  • 如果当前对话极短(少于 3 轮实质交流),直接告知用户无需生成交接文档,除非用户坚持。
