What it does
Apply Turbo Handoffs is an agent skill from tobihagemann/turbo. Audit the turbo skill lessons that /self-improve writes into this repo's .turbo/handoff/ from other projects, apply the ones the user approves, delete the consumed handoffs, commit and push, and update the installed Turbo skills. Use when the user asks to "read .turbo/handoff and let me know what you think", "read the handoff files and let me know what you think", "review the lesson handoffs", "apply the self-improve handoffs", or "process the turbo handoffs".
Its SKILL.md is about 1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
The repository describes itself as: Reusable workflows for planning, building, reviewing, and shipping with Claude Code and Codex. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- The user asks to read .turbo/handoff and let me know what you think
- Read the handoff files and let me know what you think
- Review the lesson handoffs
- Apply the self-improve handoffs
Example prompts
- “read .turbo/handoff and let me know what you think”
- “read the handoff files and let me know what you think”
- “review the lesson handoffs”
- “/apply-turbo-handoffs”
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 931eda5. 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
Apply Turbo Handoffs loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 121 tokens; SKILL.md has 588 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 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.

- Audit the turbo skill lessons that /self-improve writes into this repo's .turbo/handoff/ from other projects, apply the ones the user approves, delete the consumed handoffs, commit and push, and update the installed Turbo skills.

Apply Turbo Handoffs
Task Tracking
At the start, use TaskCreate to create a task for each step:
- Audit the handoffs
- Act on the user's reply
- Apply the approved changes
- Close out the handoffs
- Run
/stage-commit-pushskill - Run
/update-turboskill
Step 1: Audit the Handoffs
Read every file in .turbo/handoff/. Audit the handoffs that propose lessons for turbo files. Name any handoff that instead carries a session's in-flight work, and leave it untouched. When no lesson handoff exists, present "No lesson handoffs in .turbo/handoff/." Mark Steps 2 through 6 completed, then use the TaskList tool and proceed to any remaining task.
Take each handoff's evidence as a record of the incident, and audit its remedy against the file it targets before recommending any of it:
- Gap — confirm the gap still exists in the current text, is not already handled elsewhere in the skill, its references, or
claude/SKILL-CONVENTIONS.md, and was not already rejected by a decision recorded in auto memory or the target's git history. - Diagnosis — ask whether the real finding is that the skill should not have run there, or that nothing was broken, rather than that the skill must handle the case.
- Remedy — check the proposed text against the conventions and against what the target skill's other steps depend on. Prefer generalizing an existing rule over adding one more special case to it.
- Genericity — strip anything tied to the originating project so the rule states the shared shape alone.
- Weight — weigh how often the new rule would fire against how often it would help.
Output a verdict per lesson as text: apply as proposed, apply adjusted (with the adjusted wording or placement), or drop, each with the reasoning that decided it. Name any lesson that should stay Claude-only, as an intentional divergence under claude/CLAUDE.md. Be willing to conclude that none of it should ship.
Close with how to reply: approve the verdicts as they stand, describe what to change, or hold a lesson back for a later session. Then end the turn.
Show full SKILL.md (250 more words)Show less
Step 2: Act on the User's Reply
- Revise — apply the user's corrections to the verdicts. When a correction raises a question the audit did not cover, investigate it first. Then re-present the changed verdicts, close with Step 1's reply guidance, and end the turn again.
- Approve — the verdicts are settled, and this approval covers the commit in Step 5. Continue to Step 3.
Step 3: Apply the Approved Changes
When any lesson approved to apply edits a skill, run the /create-skill skill once for the whole batch of them. Make all of the lessons' edits in their approved form, following the edition-mirroring rules in claude/CLAUDE.md, before that skill's review begins. Edit non-skill files such as docs directly.
When the applied edits depart materially from the approved verdicts, such as review findings rewriting an approved rule or a lesson turning out not to fit, present each departure and end the turn. Continue from the user's reply.
Step 4: Close Out the Handoffs
Delete each audited handoff whose lessons were all applied or dropped. For a handoff that still holds a lesson the user held back, remove the resolved lessons from it and keep the file.
When no tracked file changed, present that nothing was committed. Mark Steps 5 and 6 completed, then use the TaskList tool and proceed to any remaining task.
Step 5: Run /stage-commit-push Skill
Run the /stage-commit-push skill.
Step 6: Run /update-turbo Skill
Run the /update-turbo skill.
Then use the TaskList tool and proceed to any remaining task.
