agent-handoff-protocols

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides structured patterns and best practices for designing reliable and efficient ways for AI agents to pass tasks, context, and control to one another, preventing data loss and ensuring smooth workflow execution.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Handoff Patterns: Implement direct, queued, or brokered handoffs between agents.
• Context Management: Strategies for transferring full context, summarized context, or reference-based context.
• Error Handling: Robust mechanisms for managing rejections, timeouts, and rollbacks.
• Use Case: Designing a multi-agent system where an initial agent gathers user requirements, a second agent plans the execution, and a third agent performs the task, ensuring all necessary information is passed accurately at each step.

Quick Start

Use the agent-handoff-protocols skill to design a direct handoff between a planning agent and an execution agent for a given task.
