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.
