At a glance

Compact the current conversation into a handoff document so a fresh agent can continue the work.

  • Development work in your project
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Handoff is an agent skill from rengwu/wayfinder-maps. Compact the current conversation into a handoff document so a fresh agent can continue the work.

Its SKILL.md is about 300 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 Development. The repository describes itself as: Planetary visualization tool for /wayfinder maps. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Development work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/handoff”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c252110. 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 302 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 26 tokens; SKILL.md has 149 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~26
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~302

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.

What will the next session be used for?
disable-model-invocation
true

Write a handoff document summarising the current conversation so a fresh agent can continue the work.

Save it to .plan/handoffs/<YYYY-MM-DD>-<slug>.md at the repository root, creating the directory if needed (.plan/ is committed to version control — it is the project's shared planning memory). If not working inside a repository, save to the OS temporary directory instead and tell the user the absolute path.

Include a "suggested skills" section, listing skills the next agent should invoke — by name, with a one-line reason each — noting they apply only if available in that agent's environment.

Do not duplicate content already captured in other artifacts (specs, plans, ADRs, issues, commits, diffs). Reference them by path or URL instead.

Redact any sensitive information, such as API keys, passwords, or personally identifiable information.

If the user passed arguments, treat them as a description of what the next session will focus on and tailor the doc accordingly.
