SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Automates the preparation of explicit, deterministic handoff relays between agents by refreshing current state, runtime digest, and handoff packet with a concrete next-agent goal.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Generate and validate a handoff packet that encodes the next-agent goal and relay context.
  • Synchronize active state between sessions/cycles and ensure readiness for handoff.
  • Use during cross-agent transitions to minimize drift and ensure audit compliance.

Quick Start

Execute the handoff-close skill to generate and validate a relay packet for the next agent.

Frequently Asked Questions about handoff-close

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I coordinate an agent handoff without losing runtime state?▼

To coordinate an agent handoff without losing runtime state, generate a deterministic relay packet that captures the current state and runtime digest. This ensures the next agent receives validated context, preventing drift during cross-agent transitions.

How do I generate a handoff packet for the next agent in an audit workflow?▼

To generate a handoff packet for an audit workflow, execute the handoff-close process to refresh the current state and project the relay into HANDOFF-PACKET.md. This file includes fields like handoff_status, recommended_next_agent_role, and next_agent_goal.

Can I use handoff relays for transitions between coordinators, executors, and auditors?▼

Yes, you can use handoff relays for transitions between coordinators, executors, and auditors. The generated packet explicitly defines the recommended next agent role and validates readiness for pre-write admission and runtime-state checks.

What is the best way to ensure audit compliance during cross-agent transitions?▼

The best way to ensure audit compliance during cross-agent transitions is to generate deterministic relay packets that satisfy pre-write admission and runtime-state checks. This provides explicit context and backlog references for subsequent agents.

What fields are included in a HANDOFF-PACKET.md file for agent coordination?▼

A HANDOFF-PACKET.md file for agent coordination includes fields such as handoff_status, recommended_next_agent_role, next_agent_goal, and backlog_refs. These fields provide explicit operational goals and reference tracking for the receiving agent.
