SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps manage the transition of work between agents or workspaces, ensuring that a new agent can take over from where a previous one left off, with the same context preserved.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Context Preservation: Seamlessly transfer work context from one agent to another within the same workspace, or to a new, isolated workspace.
  • Task Handoff: Automate the creation of a new agent or workspace with all necessary information for continuity.
  • Use Case: When a user is interrupted or wants to switch tasks, this Skill can save the state and create a fresh agent to continue where the user left off.

Quick Start

To pass the current work to a new agent within the same workspace, run 'handoff --mode same'. To start a new workspace with the context, use 'handoff --mode new'.
