What it does

Handoff is an agent skill from nexu-io/open-design. Push the run's accepted artifact to a downstream collaboration surface (cli, other code agents, cloud, desktop) and stamp the artifact manifest with the export target.

Its SKILL.md is about 550 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `open-design.json`).

It sits in Frontend & Design. It works with Figma. The repository describes itself as: 🎨 Best DeepSeek Harness Design Plugin. The open-source Claude Design alternative. 🖥️ Local-first desktop app. 🖼️ Your coding agent becomes the design engine: prototypes… The licence is Apache-2.0.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d9dd6fe. 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 547 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 44 tokens; SKILL.md has 259 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~44
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~547

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.

name: handoff
description: Push the run's accepted artifact to a downstream collaboration surface (cli, other code agents, cloud, desktop) and stamp the artifact manifest with the export target.
od.scenario: tune-collab
od.mode: handoff

Handoff

Spec §11.5.1 / §21.5: an OD run isn't done when the artifact exists — it's done when the artifact reaches the surface the user will keep iterating on. This atom is the "push it somewhere" stage. It's the natural counterpart to diff-review.

Inputs

The accepted artifact set (after diff-review resolved with decision: 'accept' | 'partial').
The export target (one of the surface enum values from ArtifactManifest.exportTargets[].surface).

Surfaces

surface	typical follow-on
`cli`	the user runs `od files read` against the project; no extra push
`desktop`	open the project in the OD desktop app
`web`	publish to the public marketplace via spec §13's `od://` deep link
`docker`	wrap the artifact into a self-contained container (calls the §15.4 image)
`github`	open a PR via `od plugin publish --to <catalog>`
`figma`	round-trip back into the figma-migration source file
`code-agent`	hand off to Cursor / Claude Code / Codex sitting on top of the project cwd

Output

Updates ArtifactManifest.exportTargets[] with a row per push, appending — never replacing — so the artifact's distribution history stays append-only.

Convergence

The atom completes when at least one exportTargets[] entry matches the user's intent or the user explicitly skipped via the confirmation GenUI surface.

Anti-patterns the prompt fragment forbids

Pushing the artifact to a surface that wasn't on the user's intent list.
Mutating sourcePluginSnapshotId (it's immutable; the export trail is additive).
Treating figma as a no-op when the user's source was a Figma file — round-trip is the whole point of the figma-migration scenario.

Status

Implemented by the daemon runner in apps/daemon/src/plugins/atoms/handoff.ts. It records provenance, handoffKind, and export targets, then persists the updated artifact manifest.

Files

Can I use Handoff in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add nexu-io/open-design --skill handoff -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/handoff, .gemini/skills/handoff, .github/skills/handoff and .opencode/skills/handoff in your project.

What does Handoff need to run?

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Handoff is instructions for the agent only. Our summary lists: Docker.

Does Handoff access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Handoff safe to install?

What licence does Handoff use?

Handoff is published under the Apache-2.0 licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does Handoff use?

About 547 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 2.2k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.

What are the alternatives to Handoff?
