About

handoff is a CLI-only, two-role collaboration tool. You — or any coding-agent session: Claude Code, opencode, grok, and codex all work — play the coordinator: write the plan, dispatch the task, rule on permissions, review the changes. The executor (opencode / Claude Code / grok / codex) does the actual work in its own independent session — on the same machine, or on any dev box you can reach over the network (see "Connecting a Remote Executor Machine").

Why not just open a terminal and let the AI run?

- Execution is separated from review: the executor works in its own session, on its own branch (optionally its own worktree). Dangerous operations are stopped at the permission gate and put to you — it moves one step per approval you give.

- Nothing is lost when you disconnect: all state and events are persisted in the executor machine's agentd (SQLite). Your session crashes, you close the laptop lid, you switch to another computer — two commands take over the full live state.

- Remote compute: write the plan on your laptop, dispatch to an always-on workstation. Code travels through git; changes come back via handoff pull.

- No central anything: no central server, no hooks, no MCP configuration. Two machines and one direct WebSocket connection.

This workflow is battle-tested on itself: everything in this project beyond the first milestone was built by Claude Code acting as coordinator, dispatching to opencode through handoff — the code you are reading is its own output.

Security

No known CVEs for handoff.

Coverage is best-effort and depends on a winget package mapping to an NVD CPE entry. Absence here is not a guarantee of safety.
