Orchestrator for all 7 Laws of AI Agent Discipline. Walks an agent-emitted recommendation list top-to-bottom under the 7 Laws — restate, route per item, verify before advancing, reflect at the end, close with the mandatory three-section block. Standalone with inline fallbacks; trigger phrases are matched by the companion hook, not enumerated here.
Enforces Law 4 (Verify Before Reporting) of the 7 Laws of AI Agent Discipline. Reviews the current diff for over-engineering (code that could reuse an existing file, a stdlib or native feature, or fewer lines) and reports trim findings without touching code, so 'it works' is never mistaken for 'it is the minimum that works'.
Enforces Law 4 (Verify Before Reporting) of the 7 Laws of AI Agent Discipline at the deploy seam. A merge into a branch that auto-deploys is not "done" until the deploy provider reports the merged commit SHA running and a healthcheck endpoint returns 200. Companion to the vendored `finishing-a-development-branch` skill — does not replace it, runs after it for projects on Railway, Cloudflare Workers, Vercel, Netlify, Fly.io, or any other auto-deploy target.
Enforces Law 1 (Research Before Executing) of the 7 Laws of AI Agent Discipline. Fact-forcing gate that blocks Edit/Write/Bash (including MultiEdit) and demands concrete investigation (importers, data schemas, user instruction) before allowing the action. Measurably improves output quality by +2.25 points vs ungated agents.
Enforces Law 1 (Research Before Executing) of the 7 Laws of AI Agent Discipline. Establishes git ground truth — branch, status, stashes, worktrees, ahead/behind — before any mutation, halts on protected or destructive operations, then carries the known-good state through to a landed PR: stage by filename, commit one concern, push the feature branch, verify the push landed, open the PR, and after the PR merges fast-forward the default branch and check it out.
Enforces Law 4 (Verify Before Reporting) of the 7 Laws of AI Agent Discipline. A comprehensive verification system for agent coding sessions covering build, types, lint, tests, security, and diff with a PASS/FAIL report.

Ported verbatim in behavior from mattpocock/skills in-progress/handoff (MIT, © 2026 Matt Pocock). Cold-storage snapshot at third-party/mattpocock-skills/skills/in-progress/handoff/SKILL.md; SHA pin in third-party/MANIFEST.md.
Write a handoff document summarising the current conversation so a fresh agent can continue the work. Save it to a path produced by mktemp -t handoff-XXXXXX.md (read the file before you write to it).
Suggest the skills to be used, if any, by the next session.
Do not duplicate content already captured in other artifacts (PRDs, plans, ADRs, issues, commits, diffs). Reference them by path or URL instead.
If the user passed arguments, treat them as a description of what the next session will focus on and tailor the doc accordingly.
/compact would lose load-bearing state — write a handoff doc first, then compact./ralph, /loop) that will run while you are away.The handoff is a brief, not a transcript. A useful one fits on one screen and answers, in order:
verification-loop, superpowers:writing-plans, gateguard).Anything that is already captured elsewhere gets a path or URL pointer, not a duplicate.
| Law | Role of this skill |
|---|---|
| Law 5 (Reflect After Every Session) | The handoff is the reflection artifact — what changed, what was decided, what remains. |
| Law 7 (Learn From Every Session) | Naming the skills the next session should activate is a learned-pattern signal. |
| Law 2 (Plan Is Sacred) | The "next concrete step" preserves the existing plan across the session boundary instead of restarting from blank. |
strategic-compact — compact the current session at a phase boundary instead of writing a handoff doc. Use when the session continues with the same agent.superpowers:writing-plans — produce the plan doc the handoff can reference instead of duplicating.This skill is a port of mattpocock/skills in-progress/handoff.
