Apply Turbo Handoffs
Audits the self-improve lesson handoffs in `.turbo/handoff/`, applies the ones you approve, then cleans up, commits, and updates the installed Turbo skills.

What it does
- Reads every file in
.turbo/handoff/, separating lesson proposals from handoffs that merely carry in-flight session work (those are left untouched and named). - Audits each lesson on five axes — gap still real, diagnosis correct, remedy fits conventions, project-specific details stripped, benefit vs. firing frequency — and returns a verdict of apply, apply adjusted, or drop with reasoning.
- After your approval, runs
/create-skillper approved lesson, deletes consumed handoffs (or trims only the resolved lessons), then chains/stage-commit-pushand/update-turbo. - Tracks all six steps with TaskCreate/TaskList and exits cleanly when there is nothing to commit.
Who it's for
- Maintainers of the turbo repo (or a fork) who regularly merge lessons collected from other projects.
- Anyone who prefers generalizing an existing rule over piling on special cases.
- Teams studying human-in-the-loop automation patterns: audit → approve → apply → commit.
Examples
- "read the handoff files and let me know what you think" → get per-lesson verdicts, tweak a couple, then approve.
- "process the turbo handoffs" → approved lessons land in the skills, held-back ones stay in their file, changes are committed and pushed.
- Empty queue → it reports "No lesson handoffs in
.turbo/handoff/" and marks the remaining steps complete.

Paste this into Claude to use the skill without installing anything.
Read the instructions in this file and follow them to help me: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tobihagemann/turbo/HEAD/.claude/skills/apply-turbo-handoffs/SKILL.md What I want: (describe your task here)
If Claude can't open the link, open it yourself and paste the contents instead.
↓ If it works for you, download the ZIP below and install it. Then it runs on its own — no pasting each time.
Install in the Claude app (no terminal)
- Download the ZIP with the button below.
- In Claude, open Settings → Capabilities and turn on 'Code execution and file creation'. (one time)
- Go to Customize → Skills → + → 'Upload a skill' and upload the ZIP.
Install in Claude Code
Let Claude do it — paste this into Claude Code
Install the skill I found on Claude Skill Mart. Copy the .claude/skills/apply-turbo-handoffs folder from the GitHub repo tobihagemann/turbo into my ~/.claude/skills/apply-turbo-handoffs/. When it's done, tell me in one line what this skill can do.
Install with a command instead
git clone https://github.com/tobihagemann/turbo.git /tmp/turbo && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r /tmp/turbo/.claude/skills/apply-turbo-handoffs ~/.claude/skills/⚠ This is a third-party skill. Check the source repository before installing.
- Open a terminal.
- Clone the repo:
git clone https://github.com/tobihagemann/turbo.git - Create the skills folder:
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills - Copy the skill:
cp -r turbo/.claude/skills/apply-turbo-handoffs ~/.claude/skills/ - This skill depends on companion skills (
/create-skill,/stage-commit-push,/update-turbo) andclaude/SKILL-CONVENTIONS.md, so installing the full turbo setup is recommended. - Restart Claude Code and, from inside the turbo repo, try: "review the lesson handoffs".
