Fine to try. Some of what it can do is expected: a coding skill usually runs build and test commands.

Hand the current conversation off to a fresh background agent that picks up the work immediately, so you can step away and track it independently. Use when the user wants to background the current work, keep going without them, continue in a separate session, or says "hand this off", "run this in the background", "keep working on this while I'm gone", or "spin up an agent to finish this".

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

What this skill can do

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'agents-handoff' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'agents-handoff' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named agents-handoff already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/bendrucker/claude' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '497d619eb22e6f93dd49c4d8f6ff4a52578e0949' -- 'plugins/agents/skills/handoff' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'plugins/agents/skills/handoff' ~/.agents/skills/'agents-handoff' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'agents-handoff' ~/.claude/skills/'agents-handoff' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
