core-handoff-contracts

What problem does it solve?

Large multi-agent delivery workflows become brittle when context is over-shared, informal, or unstructured; this Skill establishes compact, structured handoff contracts, clear storage guidance, and quality bars so receivers get only the exact context, evidence, and next steps they need.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Structured Templates: Ready-to-use YAML/JSON templates for briefs, results, package contracts, and session context to standardize exchanges.
• Persistence Guidance: Rules for when to persist handoffs versus keeping them ephemeral, plus canonical storage locations and filename conventions for auditability.
• Runtime Tooling: A small CLI script to refresh and persist session context with deduplication and timestamping, enabling durable checkpoints across long-running work.
• Use Cases: Delegating verification tasks, returning partial results with blockers, carrying approvals across phase boundaries, and compacting growing context between specialists.

Quick Start

Populate handoff-brief.template.yaml with objective, scope, and paths then run the included update_session_context.py with appropriate flags to refresh and persist the shared session checkpoint.
