SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Unified handoff-loop orchestrator that validates, gates, routes, and tracks agent handoffs with receipt confirmation and obligation monitoring. Use when checking handoff status, validating before sending, routing with quality gates, or sweeping for stale/overdue items.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Validates handoffs before routing to catch structural or content errors
  • Applies quality gates to block low-scoring handoffs
  • Records receipts to confirm who read what and when
  • Monitors obligations and sweeps for overdue items

Quick Start

Validate a handoff file, audit its links, and route it to the target recipient.

Frequently Asked Questions about handoff-loop

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I validate agent handoffs before routing them to recipients?

You can validate agent handoffs by checking mandatory frontmatter fields like type, from, to, created, priority, and scope, along with required document sections, to catch structural or content errors before routing.

What is the best way to track receipt confirmation for workflow handoffs across multiple agents?

Tracking receipt confirmation for workflow handoffs involves recording who read what and when, ensuring accountability across agents and preventing gaps in multi-agent orchestration.

How do I monitor obligations and sweep for overdue handoffs in an automated workflow?

Monitoring obligations and sweeping for overdue handoffs requires running script-driven sweep commands that identify stale or overdue items, generating JSON-style logs for ongoing tracking.

Can I apply quality gates to block low-scoring handoffs in a routing pipeline?

Yes, applying quality gates to block low-scoring handoffs in a routing pipeline prevents low-quality agent handoffs from proceeding, ensuring only validated items pass through the orchestration workflow.

Does agent handoff orchestration work without external dependencies?

Agent handoff orchestration operates with no external dependencies, using script-driven commands for validate, gate, route, ack, and sweep actions to manage the entire handoff loop internally.

What limitations exist when routing handoffs with complex obligation monitoring requirements?

Routing handoffs with complex obligation monitoring requires strict adherence to mandatory frontmatter fields and document sections; failure to meet these structural validation rules will block the handoff from routing.
