What it does
Handoff is an agent skill from jh941213/my-cc-harness. Generate HANDOFF.md work handoff document before ending session. Triggers on: handoff, handoff, session cleanup, HANDOFF.md, pass work. NOT for: code writing, review.
Its SKILL.md is about 440 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
When your agent uses it
- Session cleanup
Example prompts
- “/handoff”
Requirements
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Bash
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e9210e2. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
ReadWriteBash
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are markdown).
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 437 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 44 tokens; SKILL.md has 137 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.

allowed-tools: Read, Write, Bash
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.

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 137 words (~437 tokens).
