Structured handoff packet preview

Agent state, captured for restart

Handoff Skill

Save the current task state, evidence, risks, and exact remaining plan so a later agent can continue from the packet alone.

A restartable workflow

The skill treats a handoff as an engineering artifact, not a chat summary. Every step ends with a checkable state.

1

Fix the target

Identify who resumes, what they should focus on, and what success means.

2

Inventory facts

Record durable state: paths, commands, artifacts, decisions, and failures.

3

Plan remaining work

Write ordered next steps with files, commands, risks, and done criteria.

4

Run resume check

Read the packet like a fresh agent and close any missing restart context.

The packet carries proof

It links to artifacts instead of pasting bulk context and calls out what is unknown, blocked, or sensitive.

  • Current workspace, branch, services, and artifacts.
  • Completed work with command evidence.
  • Files changed, files left alone, and why.
  • Verification plan, risks, suggested skills, and redactions.
