How do I create a session handoff document from a conversation?▼

What is the best way to switch context between agents without losing conversation state?▼

The best way to preserve conversation state during an agent switch is to generate a handoff document. This process captures the current session's context, redacts sensitive data, and writes a structured summary to ensure a fresh agent can continue seamlessly.

Does the handoff process automatically redact sensitive data in the session state file?▼

Yes, the handoff process automatically redacts sensitive data according to policy when writing to the session state file. This ensures that privacy is maintained while transferring conversation context between agents or sessions.

Can I reference existing plans when generating a context handoff for a paused work session?▼

Yes, you can reference existing plans when generating a context handoff for a paused work session. The compaction process automatically identifies and includes references to relevant plans within the structured handoff document for continuity.

What information is included in a structured session handoff for end-of-session transitions?▼
