Compact evidence-driven development workflow skills for Codex CLI and Claude Code
npx -y skills add yyqqCoding/engineering-flow-skills --skill handoffAssembled from the repository path, not quoted from the project. Check it against their README if it does not work.
2 things to look at
- 23 days oldThe repository was created 23 days ago. New is not bad, but a brand new repository carrying a familiar-sounding name is the shape a typosquat arrives in, and there has been no time for anyone else to find a problem with it.
- 0 stars0 stars. Stars are a popularity signal and not a quality one, but at this level it is likely that nobody has read this closely except its author, and you would be relying on your own review.

Handoff
Capture the minimum durable state another session needs to continue safely.
Gather current facts
- Re-read version-control status and relevant diff.
- Read the authoritative requirement/design documents.
- Check the latest verification output rather than relying on memory.
- Identify blockers, unresolved decisions, and unrelated work that must be preserved.
Produce the handoff
Include:
- Objective and accepted behavior
- Current implementation state
- Key files and authoritative documents
- Decisions already made and their reasons
- Commands run and their latest results
- Remaining tasks in dependency order
- Known risks, blockers, and unverified areas
- Version-control state and unrelated changes to preserve
Reference existing documents, commits, diffs, and test output instead of copying their full contents.
Write to the requested path when one is provided. Otherwise return the handoff in the response without creating a repository file silently.

Grouped from the skills themselves: near-identical wordings counted once, and counted by distinct author, so one author publishing three of these counts once. Length counted with cl100k_base; the agent that loads this file may tokenize it differently.
