SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It solves the problem of losing context when you need to transfer an ongoing project or conversation to a fresh agent.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Conversation Compaction: Summarises the current conversation into a handoff document that another agent can immediately continue.
  • Suggested Next Skills: Includes a "suggested skills" section so the receiving agent knows which workflows to invoke next.
  • Artifact De-duplication & Safety: References existing plans/PRDs/ADRs/issues/commits/diffs instead of duplicating them, and redacts sensitive information.

Quick Start

Run the handoff skill to generate a handoff document for the next agent to continue the current work, focusing on your chosen next topic if you provide one.

FAQPage Schema
How do I hand off an ongoing conversation to another agent without losing context?

To hand off an ongoing conversation without losing context, you can compact the session into a handoff document. This summarizes the current state so the next agent can continue the work without re-reading everything.

What is the best way to save context before a session compaction or agent handover?

The best way to save context before compaction is to generate a handoff document in a temporary directory. It captures the current focus and references existing project artifacts like plans, PRDs, and commits to avoid duplication.

Can I specify the next focus topic when transferring work to a new agent?

Yes, you can specify the next focus topic when transferring work to a new agent. The generated handoff document will focus on your chosen topic and include suggested skills for the receiving agent to invoke next.

Does the handoff process duplicate existing project artifacts like PRDs and ADRs?

No, the handoff process does not duplicate existing project artifacts. It references existing plans, PRDs, ADRs, issues, commits, and diffs directly within the handoff document to maintain a compact and accurate context transfer.

How does the handoff document handle sensitive information during agent collaboration?

During agent collaboration, the handoff document actively redacts sensitive information. This ensures that when the compacted conversation context is transferred to another agent, private data is protected.

When do I need to generate a handover document for agent collaboration?

You need to generate a handover document when you want to transfer an ongoing project to a fresh agent, request a 'next agent' focus, or save context before a session compaction in multilingual environments.
