FAQPage Schema
How do I preserve context when handing off a task to a fresh agent session?▼

To preserve context for a fresh agent session, you can generate a self-contained Markdown handoff document that encapsulates the task purpose, relevant context, and artifact pointers. This prevents context-window degradation by ensuring the new session continues work without re-deriving background information.

What is the best way to parallelize agent tasks across different context windows?▼

The best way to parallelize agent tasks is by creating a portable Markdown handoff document. This encapsulates the necessary purpose and context, allowing fresh agent sessions to work in parallel without experiencing context-window degradation.

Does the handoff document format work across different agent platforms?▼

Yes, the handoff document uses the agentskills.io standard for platform compatibility. This ensures the generated Markdown context document can be used across different agent platforms to continue tasks seamlessly.

How do I create a context handoff document for a new session?▼

You create a context handoff document by running the `/ievo:handoff <purpose>` command. This generates a Markdown file containing the task purpose, relevant context, suggested skills, and artifact pointers needed for the new session.

Are secrets and sensitive data protected during context handoff?▼

Yes, secrets and sensitive data are redacted when generating the handoff document. This ensures the portable Markdown file safely encapsulates context for a new agent session without exposing sensitive environment variables.
