handoff

Compact the current conversation into a handoff document for another agent to pick up. Save to a user-configured location (OS temp, home folder, or per-project .handoff/), redact secrets before write, suggest skills for the next session, and auto-load the latest handoff on the next SessionStart. First-run setup asks where to save so the project folder never gets cluttered. Use when the user says 'hand this off', 'handoff doc', 'summarize this for a new session', 'compact this conversation', 'I'm ending this session', 'pick this up later', or any variation signaling intent to pass work to a fresh agent. Also trigger on implicit signals: the user announcing they're switching machines, ending the day mid-task, or context is growing long without a natural stopping point.

Quality

Content

82%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

A well-organized, highly actionable body with strong validation tooling and concrete commands throughout. The main issues are duplicated trigger lists between frontmatter and body, an end-to-end sequence that must be reconstructed from separate sections, and referenced bundle files that are missing from the skill directory.

Suggestions

Add the missing bundle files (references/configuration.md, references/handoff_structure.md, references/handoff_prompt.md, references/deduplication_discipline.md, references/redaction_checklist.md, scripts/*.py, assets/example_handoff.md) so the well-signaled references actually resolve.

Consolidate the Invocation Triggers list with the trigger phrases already in the frontmatter description to remove the duplication and trim tokens.

Add one numbered end-to-end sequence (setup → generate → fill via checklist → self-check → linter → save) near the top so the reader doesn't have to assemble the workflow from separate sections.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

Terse, imperative, and free of explanations of concepts Claude already knows, but the Invocation Triggers section duplicates the trigger lists already in the frontmatter description, and the Slash Commands and Usage tables overlap. Minor trims remain, matching the score-4 anchor; not 5 due to this duplication.

4 / 5

Actionability

Copy-paste-ready commands throughout ('mktemp -t handoff-XXXXXX.md', 'python3 scripts/handoff_template_generator.py --refresh --goal "<updated goal>"'), exact section headers, concrete slash commands, env-var toggles, and a tools table with purposes — fully executable guidance matching the score-5 anchor.

5 / 5

Workflow Clarity

The pipeline (trigger → propose → setup → generate → fill via mandatory checklist → self-check → redaction linter → save) has explicit validation checkpoints (self-check 'Run before the linter'; linter 'Exit 1 on findings in strict mode'), but the end-to-end sequence must be assembled from separate sections rather than one ordered list — matching the score-4 anchor with minor gaps; not 5 because sequence and checkpoints are distributed.

4 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

References are well-signaled and one level deep with appropriate content splits (configuration, structure example, prompt checklist, dedup list, redaction patterns), but none of the referenced bundle files (references/*.md, scripts/*.py, assets/example_handoff.md) exist in the bundle, leaving navigation broken — a minor organization gap matching the score-4 anchor rather than 5.

Description

96%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

A strong description: concrete, action-oriented, third-person, with explicit what/when and a rich set of natural trigger phrases including implicit signals. The only weakness is minor overlap risk with compaction/summarization features via the 'compact this conversation' trigger.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Lists six concrete actions (compact conversation into handoff doc, save to user-configured location, redact secrets, suggest skills, SessionStart auto-load, first-run setup) — comprehensive coverage matching the score-5 anchor.

5 / 5

Completeness

Explicitly answers both 'what' (the action list) and 'when' ('Use when the user says...' with concrete trigger phrases and implicit signals), matching the score-5 anchor exactly.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Comprehensive natural trigger phrases users would actually say ('hand this off', 'handoff doc', 'compact this conversation', 'I'm ending this session', 'pick this up later') plus implicit-signal variations, matching the score-5 anchor for synonyms and variations.

5 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Clear handoff niche with distinct triggers, but 'compact this conversation' overlaps built-in context-compaction and 'summarize this for a new session' borders on general summarization — minor overlap risk with closely related skills, matching the score-4 anchor.
