  • Supports multi-stage workflows (planning, architecture, implementation, testing, documentation) to maintain consistency across handoffs.
  • Use Case: After finishing a planning stage, generate a comprehensive handoff for the next agent to begin architecture and implementation tasks without backtracking.

Quick Start
