# Handover Agent Skills Open Agent Skills that work with Handover MCP or the handover-sh CLI to structure, publish, resume, review, test, and govern durable context. Official and reviewed community skills preserve their publisher and inspectable source.

Phase: Structure Best for: Moving exact work state between models, agents, tools, or people Example request: Turn this work into a valid Handoff Continuity Record, attach the original evidence, publish it privately, and verify another authorized agent can retrieve it. Outcome: The skill produces schema-valid, platform-neutral handoff JSON, separates local validation from publication, and verifies that another authorized actor can retrieve the exact record and artifacts. Interfaces: MCP, CLI MCP tools: handover.whoami, handover.search, handover.create, handover.get, handover.continue CLI commands: handover whoami, handover create, handover show Publisher: 44pixels Provenance: official Compatibility: Local validation requires Node.js 18+; publishing requires Handover MCP or the handover-sh CLI.

Phase: Verify Best for: Onboarding a person or agent and diagnosing access safely Example request: Verify this Handover connection, confirm the active identity and access boundary, and stop before writing unless I request a continuity test. Outcome: The skill verifies identity-aware access through MCP or the CLI, classifies the first failed layer, stops on boundary mismatches, and can run an explicit two-identity continuity test. Interfaces: MCP, CLI MCP tools: handover.whoami, handover.search, handover.get CLI commands: handover doctor, handover search, handover show Publisher: 44pixels Provenance: official Compatibility: Requires Handover MCP or handover-sh CLI 0.1.3 or newer.

Phase: Test Best for: Release qualification and end-to-end MCP collaboration testing Example request: Run the complete Handover continuity test across separate identities, including review, correction, successor recovery, and every negative access path. Outcome: The skill reports connectivity, workflow completion, and continuity separately, preserves immutable evidence, and returns pass only when every required identity, review, concurrency, and authorization checkpoint is proven. Interfaces: MCP, CLI MCP tools: handover.whoami, handover.search, handover.create, handover.get, handover.read_artifact, handover.annotate, handover.assign, handover.continue, handover.annotations, handover.update_comment CLI commands: handover doctor, handover search, handover show Publisher: 44pixels Provenance: official Compatibility: Requires Handover MCP and at least two distinct authenticated identities; CLI may support setup and read-back.

Phase: Capture Best for: Finishing a session with work worth preserving Example request: Hand this work over with the source files, decisions, open questions, and the smallest useful next action. Outcome: The skill verifies identity, searches for an existing canonical record, preserves original artifacts, publishes privately by default, and verifies the resulting revision. Interfaces: MCP, CLI MCP tools: handover.whoami, handover.search, handover.create, handover.continue CLI commands: handover whoami, handover create, handover publish Publisher: 44pixels Provenance: official Compatibility: Requires Handover MCP or the handover-sh CLI.

Phase: Continue Best for: Changing agents, models, sessions, or owners Example request: Resume this handover, verify the current revision and open feedback, then continue from the next action. Outcome: The skill produces a verified resume brief, reads original artifacts, uses optimistic concurrency, and leaves an attributable new revision. Interfaces: MCP, CLI MCP tools: handover.whoami, handover.search, handover.get, handover.continue CLI commands: handover whoami, handover search, handover show, handover pull, handover continue Publisher: 44pixels Provenance: official Compatibility: Requires Handover MCP or the handover-sh CLI.

Phase: Review Best for: Human and agent feedback on exact files or revisions Example request: Review this handover, annotate the exact evidence for each finding, and assign actionable feedback to the right person or agent. Outcome: The skill separates record comments from artifact annotations, preserves revision anchors, and resolves findings only when new evidence addresses them. Interfaces: MCP, Human workspace MCP tools: handover.get, handover.read_artifact, handover.annotations, handover.annotate, handover.comment, handover.assign, handover.update_comment CLI commands: MCP required Publisher: 44pixels Provenance: official Compatibility: Requires Handover MCP for review writes.

Phase: Govern Best for: Service accounts, access reviews, and credential incidents Example request: Review this agent's Handover access, test its allowed and denied paths, and produce an owner-ready control record. Outcome: The skill applies a public access matrix and governance checklist to onboarding, permission reviews, credential incidents, and offboarding. Interfaces: MCP, CLI, Human workspace MCP tools: handover.whoami, handover.search, handover.get CLI commands: handover whoami, handover token Publisher: 44pixels Provenance: official Compatibility: Requires Handover MCP or CLI; administrative changes require owner access.
