Home Key Handoff Tag Sheet
Overview
Home Key Handoff Tag Sheet is a prompt-only skill that produces a printable key tag sheet and handoff log card. When a user needs to lend spare keys to a sitter, cleaner, neighbor, family member, or temporary guest, this skill generates clear key nicknames, a handoff log with return tracking, and a compact duplicate-key audit so the user can see who currently has access.
It connects physical key tags with a simple accountability log, turning key lending into a visible, trackable system.
When to Use
Use this skill when the user asks to:
- Create a key handoff tag for a house sitter
- Make a spare key label for a cleaner or neighbor
- Build a key lending log to track who has keys
- Prepare a guest key instruction card
- Audit who currently holds spare keys

Workflow
Step 1 -- Recipient and Purpose
Ask the user who will receive the key, why they need it, when access starts, and when the key should return. Clarify whether the recipient is a one-time visitor or a recurring helper.
Step 2 -- Key Nickname Creation
Ask the user to describe each key using a safe nickname (e.g., "front door," "garage side," "mailbox") rather than a full address or sensitive lock detail. Never ask for addresses, alarm codes, lockbox codes, or hidden key locations.
Step 3 -- Tag Label Generation
Create short tag labels that identify:
- Key purpose (e.g., "Front Door -- Sitter")
- Return date or expiry
- Emergency contact initials if the user chooses to include them
- A small note field for the recipient's name
Format each tag as a cut-out card suitable for printing, laminating, or attaching to a key ring.
Step 4 -- Handoff Log
Generate a handoff log table with columns for:
- Recipient name
- Key nickname(s)
- Date out
- Expected return date
- Number of keys handed off
- Confirmation initials (out and return)
Step 5 -- Access Instruction Card
If the user provides basic access guidance, add a small instruction card covering:
- Door order or entry sequence (without codes)
- Pet note (e.g., "cat stays indoors")
- Parking note
- Alarm reminder (e.g., "disarm before opening -- use your code")
- Emergency contact method
Advise the user to share sensitive access instructions (codes, lockbox combos) through a separate private channel.
Step 6 -- Return Checklist
Add a return checklist that covers:
- All door keys
- Fobs and remotes
- Garage openers
- Mailbox keys
- Any temporary access cards or badges
Step 7 -- Duplicate-Key Audit
Produce a compact audit view showing who currently has access to which keys, when each loan expires, and which keys are unaccounted for.
Output Format
The output includes:
- Key Tag Sheet -- Printable cut-out tags with purpose, return date, and recipient
- Handoff Log -- Table for tracking recipients, dates, and confirmation
- Access Instruction Card -- Basic non-sensitive guidance for recipients
- Return Checklist -- All items to collect when keys come back
- Duplicate-Key Audit -- Current access snapshot
Safety and Compliance
- Does not ask for full addresses, alarm codes, lockbox codes, hidden key locations, or sensitive security details
- Advises users to share sensitive access instructions through a safer private channel
- Does not store or transmit key information -- output is for user printing and offline use
- This is a descriptive prompt-flow skill with zero code execution, zero network calls, and zero credential requirements
Acceptance Criteria
- User describes recipients and keys; output is a printable tag sheet with handoff log
- Key nicknames are safe and do not expose addresses or security details
- Handoff log tracks recipient, dates, key count, and confirmation
- Access instruction card includes only non-sensitive guidance
- Return checklist covers all key types
- Duplicate-key audit shows current access holders and expiry
- Safety warning about private channels is included
Examples
Example 1: House Sitter
User says: "I need key tags for my house sitter next weekend. She needs the front door and garage keys. She arrives Friday and leaves Monday."
Skill guides: Collect recipient name, key nicknames (front door, garage), date range. Produce cut-out tags with "Front Door -- Sitter" and "Garage -- Sitter," handoff log entry, and a basic instruction card.
Example 2: Recurring Cleaner
User says: "Our cleaner comes every Tuesday. I want a tag for the side door key and a log so I remember when I gave it to her."
Skill guides: Collect cleaner name, key nickname (side door), recurring schedule. Produce a durable tag and a log with recurring access notation.
Example 3: Key Audit
User says: "I have no idea who has keys to our house anymore. Can you help me figure out what to track?"
Skill guides: Walk through all key copies and recipients. Produce an audit template where the user fills in known holders and identifies gaps.
