Agent replacement and handoff is automated by compiling the failed agent's context, generating a handoff document, reassigning GitHub Kanban tasks, and delivering the package via AI Maestro. This ensures the replacement agent receives full context without disrupting ongoing work.

GitHub Project Kanban cards are reassigned by transferring the failed agent's project state and metadata to the new agent. This preserves all task progress and card assignments while updating the orchestrator state to reflect the replacement agent's ownership.

An agent handoff document is a compiled record of a failed or unavailable agent's context, progress, and continuation point. You need to generate one when an agent failure requires a successor to take over tasks without losing prior context or disrupting workflows.

Yes, automated agent context handoffs require Python 3.8+ with PyYAML and the GitHub CLI installed. You also need access to the orchestrator's state and GitHub project data to compile context and reassign tasks properly.

After handoff delivery via AI Maestro, the replacement agent must send an acknowledgment confirming its understanding of the context and continuation point. The system then notifies ECOS about the replacement status and logs the outcome for traceability and auditing.

Yes, the system supports both standard and emergency agent replacements. Emergency workflows follow the same context compilation and handoff delivery steps but prioritize immediate task reassignment and ECOS notification to minimize workflow disruption.
