handoff

To preserve context when transferring work between AI agents, you can generate a comprehensive handoff prompt that captures the ephemeral session state and links to durable information like code repositories. This ensures no details are lost during the transition.

The best way to create a continuation prompt for a new session is to automate the capture of transient decisions and map them to relevant durable resources. This produces a self-contained prompt that a new agent can follow immediately.

Session management handles ephemeral state by summarizing transient decisions and tasks from the active session, then linking this summary to durable information. This creates a complete context package for the receiving agent.

Yes, you can generate a handoff prompt without manual copying by running a script that automatically gathers the current session state. This script creates a self-contained prompt suitable for immediate use by a new agent.

Agent collaboration using this context preservation method requires a directory containing a script for gathering state and a SKILL.md file for instructions. This setup allows the system to properly capture and document the ongoing session.

You need a handoff prompt for seamless session transitions when an ongoing task must be moved to a new agent or session. It documents the ephemeral state and points to durable information to prevent loss of work context.
