Handoff receipts
Write and validate structured receipts for agent-to-agent or agent-to-human work transfers. Use when the user says "handoff" or "hand this off", when delegating work to another agent, when ending a work session with unfinished or transferable context, or when receiving work that another agent expects you to accept.From its SKILL.md

Handoff receipts
Create evidence-bearing boundaries between work sessions and owners.
Sending work
- Copy
templates/handoff-receipt.mdinto the relevant project or response workspace. - Replace every example value with observed facts. Keep the receipt synthetic only when explicitly demonstrating the format.
- Record the complete task and scope, authorized paths or territory, decisions and reasons, unresolved risks, exact verification command and observed result, produced artifacts, receiver acceptance checklist, identities, and an RFC 3339 timestamp.
- Use empty arrays for
decisions,unresolvedRisks, orartifactsonly when there are genuinely none. Never omit the fields. - Run
node scripts/validate-receipt.mjs <receipt-path>from this skill directory. Correct every reported error before handoff. - Send the receipt with the artifacts. Call out failed or not-run verification and unresolved risks in the handoff message.
Do not claim a command passed unless its recorded output came from that run. Do not broaden territory.allowedPaths after the work merely to make unauthorized changes look allowed.
Receiving work
Refuse acceptance when no receipt accompanies incoming work. Ask politely: “Please provide a handoff receipt with the scope, allowed territory, decisions, unresolved risks, verification evidence, artifacts, and acceptance checklist.”
When a receipt exists:
- Validate it with
node scripts/validate-receipt.mjs <receipt-path>. - Confirm sender and receiver identities and inspect every artifact against the stated scope and allowed territory.
- Re-run the verification command when safe and authorized. Reconcile any result that differs from the receipt.
- Read every decision and unresolved risk. Do not treat acceptance as resolution of a listed risk.
- Confirm each acceptance checklist item explicitly before accepting.
- Refuse acceptance politely if validation fails, evidence is missing, territory was exceeded, a checklist item cannot be confirmed, or a risk makes the next step unsafe. State the exact correction needed.
A valid receipt is necessary but not sufficient for acceptance. It proves structural completeness, not truth, authorization, code quality, or production safety.
