handoff-receiver

Parse and execute incoming handoffs from Cursor by providing the normalized handoff schema. The Skill reads context files, validates acceptance criteria, and executes next tasks in IMPLEMENT mode with detailed logging of any issues encountered.

Handoff parsing extracts key task information, context files, repo state, and acceptance criteria from the normalized handoff schema in docs/ai_handoffs.md, then applies read-only analysis before execution.

Yes. The Skill performs strict validation of acceptance criteria and context files in Phases 1-2 as read-only analysis, verifying repo state before proceeding to write-capable execution in Phases 3-4.

After execution, the Skill automatically updates the handoff log with completed tasks and touched files, maintaining an accurate record while preserving original handoff data for reference.

The Skill supports schema_version 1.0 and provides backward compatibility, ensuring handoffs from different Cursor versions are processed correctly with consistent validation.

Use this Skill after Cursor completes a task and hands it off. It automatically reads context, validates tasks, and begins execution, keeping work flowing without manual parsing or missed context.
