SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

AI agents often operate in silos without a unified mechanism to hand off work, update statuses, and coordinate tasks across platforms. This Skill provides a centralized handoff workflow that connects multiple agents (antigravity, kilo, claude_code, codex, gemini_cli, open_code) to share tasks, logs, and status updates, improving collaboration and traceability.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Centralized Handoff Board: reads and updates a shared handoff board to reflect current availability and tasks.
  • Handoff Logs & Queues: creates and reads per-session logs to track handoffs, progress, and issues.
  • Cross-Agent Coordination: enables task handoffs between agents and across platforms, with a standardized lifecycle from RECEIVE to HANDOFF.
  • Session Traceability: stores session logs locally for audit and review.

Quick Start

Start by reading HANDOFF_BOARD.md, review the Handoff Queue and Recent Activity Log, then initiate a new handoff for a task or receive an assignment to begin work.

FAQPage Schema
How do I coordinate tasks and share status updates across multiple AI agents?

Cross-agent task coordination is managed by centralizing handoff workflows on a shared board, allowing multiple AI agents to update statuses, share session logs, and transfer tasks across platforms.

What is the best way to track AI agent session logs and task handoffs?

Tracking AI agent handoffs uses a centralized board and per-session logs to record task progress, availability, and issues, ensuring full traceability from task receipt to final handoff.

Does cross-agent handoff support development tools like claude_code, codex, and gemini_cli?

Cross-agent handoff supports multiple platforms including claude_code, codex, gemini_cli, antigravity, kilo, and open_code, connecting them to share tasks and coordinate status updates across environments.

How do I initiate a task handoff between different AI coding agents?

Initiating a task handoff requires reading the shared handoff board to review the queue and recent activity, then creating a new handoff entry or receiving an assignment to begin work.

Can I use a standardized protocol to update task management boards for AI teammates?

A standardized change protocol updates a shared markdown handoff board, providing a reusable data structure for logs and file organization guidelines to ensure consistent cross-agent coordination.

When do I need a centralized handoff board for my AI agents?

A centralized handoff board is needed when AI agents operate in silos without a unified mechanism to hand off work, requiring a shared workflow to update statuses, track queues, and coordinate tasks.
