Efficient Handoff

Save a compact continuation brief when switching agents or approaching a session reset. Use for deliberate handoffs, not after every small task.

Efficient Handoff

Write a brief to the user's chosen repository path or a new file in .agent/handoffs/. Preserve conflicting existing content by choosing a new filename. Include:

  • Goal, acceptance criteria and user constraints.
  • Decisions with source paths; current branch/commit when Git is available.
  • Completed changes and relevant uncommitted paths.
  • Exact verification commands and results, including failures, skipped checks and stale evidence.
  • Remaining uncertainty and the concrete next action.

Keep the brief self-contained, with references instead of transcripts or raw logs. Exclude credentials. Saving a handoff does not reset the session or authorize another agent to run. The receiving agent must recheck current files and constraints before acting. If the project has a context bundle, verify its freshness before reusing its excerpts.
