How we review

Minimal accessThe tool runs nothing and makes no network calls.

What it does

A small collection of skills the author uses personally. At the end of a session `handoff` writes a handoff document to `~/.agents/handoffs/<project>/`, and at the start of the next `pickup` reads the newest one, checks it against git and briefs you. `/handoff relay` launches the same agent in a new herdr pane that picks up the document. `herd-flow` sets the protocol for delegating to pi through visible herdr panes. `replicant` studies external libraries from durable local clones instead of stale descriptions. `docs-to-types` turns agreed decisions into domain types and dependency boundaries before any logic is written.

Who it is for. People who run several agents and sessions and do not want to lose context between them.

Good fit when

  • A session ends and another agent or the same model with clean memory will continue tomorrow.
  • The internals of a library must be understood from its source, not stale docs.
  • Work is handed to several agents in herdr panes with reports from each.
  • Architecture decisions should be fixed in types before implementation starts.

Not a fit when

  • A boxed system with no setup is needed: the skills fit the author workflow.
  • The agent does not support the `SKILL.md` format.
  • The work has nothing to do with git and handoff documents.

Example request

Make a handoff for this session, and in a new session tomorrow run pickup and say briefly where we stopped.

Limitations

The skills describe the author personal process and rely on tools such as herdr and pi that you may not have. `handoff` grew out of Matt Pocock skill of the same name. Handoff documents live in your home folder and may contain project details, so do not publish them. `replicant` clones external repositories to disk, so watch free space. The last commit is from 2 October 2026 and development follows the author needs.

How to disable. Delete the relevant skill folder from the agent skills directory or use the matching package manager command. Handoff documents in `~/.agents/handoffs/` and `replicant` clones are removed separately.

FAQ

Where is the handoff document written?

To `~/.agents/handoffs/<project>/`. `pickup` reads the newest file and checks it against git.

What does handoff relay do?

It launches the same agent in a new herdr pane, and it picks up the handoff document right away.

What is replicant for?

The agent treats repository source as the primary evidence and keeps it in durable local clones instead of relying on stale descriptions.

When should I call docs-to-types?

After decisions are agreed, for example via `grill-with-docs`. The skill writes no business logic, only types, seams and errors.

Can I install just one skill?

Yes, each skill sits in its own folder with `SKILL.md`, so you can copy the one you need.
