SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This skill solves the context-loss and decision-drift that occurs when multiple coding agents or different tools like Claude Code and Codex work on the same codebase sequentially.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Continuity Contract: Enforces a shared JSON contract to track baseline commits, scope, and design decisions.
  • Safety Guardrails: Prevents destructive whole-file overwrites and out-of-scope edits during handoffs.
  • Use Case: When switching from Claude Code to Codex to finish a feature, this skill ensures the new agent respects the existing Git baseline, accepted design invariants, and previously rejected approaches.

Quick Start

Read the current project state and the continuity contract to resume work on the active feature branch.

FAQPage Schema
How do I hand off coding tasks between AI agents without losing context?

Hand off coding tasks between AI agents by enforcing a shared continuity contract and Git-based baseline verification. This preserves context and design consistency, preventing decision-drift when switching tools like Claude Code and Codex on the same codebase.

What is a continuity contract in multi-agent development workflows?

A continuity contract is a shared JSON schema that tracks baseline commits, scope, and design decisions. It ensures subsequent agents respect the existing Git baseline, accepted invariants, and previously rejected approaches during incremental implementation.

How do I prevent destructive whole-file overwrites when switching coding agents?

Prevent destructive whole-file overwrites and out-of-scope edits during agent handoffs by applying safety guardrails built into the continuity workflow. These guardrails enforce strict adherence to the established Git baseline and shared contract.

Can I use Claude Code and Codex together on the same feature branch?

Yes, you can switch from Claude Code to Codex to finish a feature. The continuity skill ensures the new agent respects the existing Git baseline, accepted design invariants, and previously rejected approaches without losing context.

Do I need a Git baseline to manage context preservation across AI agents?

Yes, Git-based baseline verification is required to manage context preservation across agents. The shared continuity contract relies on baseline commits to enforce design consistency and prevent out-of-scope edits during sequential handoffs.

When should I not use a shared continuity contract for agent collaboration?

Avoid using a shared continuity contract when your workflow does not require strict architectural context preservation or when tasks are fully isolated, as the schema enforces explicit replan authorization for any architectural changes.
