agent-handoff-governance

What problem does it solve?

This Skill ensures that when work is delegated between agents or sub-agents, crucial context, ownership, acceptance criteria, and traceability are maintained, preventing lost information and ensuring accountability.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Contextual Handoffs: Guarantees that delegated tasks retain essential context, minimizing the need for re-explanation.
• Explicit Ownership: Clearly defines who is responsible for each stage of a task, from delegation to final integration.
• Traceability: Records handoffs in systems like Linear and Notion for auditing and progress tracking.
• Use Case: When an agent encounters a complex issue it cannot resolve, it uses this skill to formally hand off the task to a specialized sub-agent, documenting the problem, expected outcome, and acceptance criteria, ensuring the original agent can integrate the solution later.
