What problem does it solve?
Unregulated handoffs between isolated AI agent pipelines in statistical software development workflows can cause cross-contamination of code, test, and simulation specs, breaking the adversarial verification model that ensures correctness of statistical packages.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Leader-Mediated Handoffs: All artifact transfers between agent teammates flow through the leader agent to prevent direct communication and maintain pipeline isolation.
- Standardized Artifact Formatting: Mandates Markdown (.md) file format for all handoff artifacts to ensure human readability, diff-friendliness, and consistent rendering across tools.
- Workflow-Aware Rules: Defines distinct handoff chains and artifact routing for code, simulation, and documentation-only workflows to match the StatsClaw multi-pipeline architecture.
- Use Case: When building a new statistical method implementation, this protocol ensures the builder never sees test specifications, the tester never sees code specifications, and all outputs are routed correctly to the scriber, reviewer, and shipper agents.
Quick Start
Use the handoff skill to configure your StatsClaw multi-agent workflow so all artifact transfers between teammates follow strict isolation and mediation rules.
