What it does

Save Handoff is an agent skill from nowledge-co/community. Save a concise Droid handoff summary only when the user explicitly asks. This is intentionally separate from full thread-save, which does not exist yet for Droid.

Its SKILL.md is about 310 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. The repository describes itself as: Community Repo for Nowledge Labs Products.

When your agent uses it

  • Explicitly asks
  • Tasks that involve Session handoff

Example prompts

  • “/save-handoff”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Write a short but useful handoff summary.
  2. Include Goal, Decisions, Files, Risks, and Next.
  3. Create a thread with nmem --json t create and -s droid.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1f4d7eb. 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 (its code samples are bash).

    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

Save Handoff loads about 311 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 44 tokens; SKILL.md has 115 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
~311

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

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 115 words (~311 tokens).

“Only use this skill when the user explicitly asks to save progress as a handoff, leave a resumable summary, or create a lightweight restart point.”
