What problem does it solve?
The handoff skill solves the problem of losing context when switching from one agent to another, ensuring the next agent can continue the work without re-reading everything from scratch.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Conversation compacting: Summarizes the current conversation into a standalone handoff document that preserves the key decisions, requirements, and open questions.
- Suggested skills planning: Adds a suggested skills section so the next agent knows which follow-up skills to invoke for faster progress.
- Safety and hygiene: Redacts sensitive information (like API keys and personal data) and avoids duplicating content already captured in artifacts by referencing them instead.
- Argument-aware focus: Uses any provided arguments as the description of what the next session should focus on, tailoring the handoff accordingly.
Quick Start
Ask for a handoff summary by saying: "Create a handoff document for the next agent, focusing on <what to do next>, and include suggested skills."
