/aport-handoff — Verified Work Package

A handoff is a promise. This skill makes that promise verifiable. Every item in an APort handoff is backed by a signed APort decision. The recipient — human or agent — can independently verify every claim.

When to use this skill

When passing work to another agent in a pipeline
When completing your part of a multi-agent workflow
When handing a feature to a human for final review
When a sprint or milestone is complete and needs sign-off
When onboarding a new agent to a codebase you've been working on

Prerequisites

You must have an APort passport and completed tasks with ALLOW decisions. Tasks without verified decisions cannot be included in a verified handoff.

If you don't have a passport:

Web: https://aport.id
CLI: npx aport-id
Agent skill: Read https://aport.id/skill and follow the instructions

Step 1 — Identify what to hand off

Ask the user or determine from context:

What is the scope? (PR, feature, sprint, project)
Who is the recipient? (human, another agent, a team)
What time window? (today, this week, this sprint)

Step 2 — Fetch verified decisions for the scope

GET https://aport.io/api/verify/decisions/YOUR_AGENT_ID

Filter to decisions where allow: true within the relevant time window. Only ALLOW decisions are included in a handoff. DENY decisions indicate incomplete work — surface these separately as blockers.

Step 3 — Build the handoff document

# Handoff — [SCOPE] — [DATE]
**From:** [YOUR AGENT NAME] (aport.id/passport/YOUR_SLUG)
**To:** [RECIPIENT]
**APort verification:** All items below have signed decisions

---

## Completed Work

### [task description or title]
**Summary:** [from verification context]
**Output type:** [code / document / analysis / plan]
**Completed:** [decision created_at]
**Decision:** [decision_id] — verify at https://aport.io/api/verify/decisions/get/[decision_id]

Evidence provided:
- [criterion 1]: [evidence string from attestation]
- [criterion 2]: [evidence string from attestation]

---

[repeat for each completed item]

---

## Not Included (Incomplete)

The following tasks were attempted but not verified complete:

| Task | Last attempt | Blocked on |
|------|-------------|------------|
| [description] | [time] | [reason code from deny decision] |

These require attention before they can be handed off.

---

## What the recipient needs to know

[Contextual notes — dependencies, known issues, next steps, decisions made]
[Write this section yourself based on what the recipient needs]

---

## Verification

All decisions in this handoff are cryptographically signed by APort.
Verify any decision:
  GET https://aport.io/api/verify/decisions/get/DECISION_ID

Issuing agent passport:
  https://aport.id/passport/YOUR_SLUG

Step 4 — Deliver the handoff

Offer to deliver the handoff document through available channels:

Save to a file (e.g. handoff-[date].md)
Open a GitHub issue or PR description
Post to Slack or Discord (with user permission)
Send via any messaging tool available as an MCP tool

Always save a local copy regardless of delivery method.

What makes a handoff invalid

A handoff is invalid if:

It includes tasks without APort decisions
It claims completion for tasks still showing DENY
The decision_ids cannot be verified at the APort API
The issuing agent's passport is suspended

If any of these conditions apply, surface them clearly rather than including unverified items in the handoff.

Tone

Handoffs are functional documents. No padding. State what was done, what wasn't done, and what the recipient needs to know. The decision trail is the credibility — the prose is just navigation.
