FAQPage Schema
How do I transfer session context between AI agents without losing decisions and constraints?

Agent delegation works by automatically capturing strategic context, decisions, and constraints from the current session, then generating a structured markdown briefing document for the receiving agent to ensure workflow continuity.

What is the best way to delegate a strategic initiative from one agent to another?

The best way to delegate a strategic initiative is to use a context transfer mechanism that creates a clear brief, allowing the receiving agent to start work immediately with all relevant background and constraints preserved.

Do I need a specific context layer to generate agent briefing documents?

Yes, generating agent briefing documents requires the Product Org OS v3+ context layer and rules for full functionality to properly capture and transfer the session context.

What format is used for the context transfer file when passing work between agents?

The context transfer file is generated as a structured markdown document at `context/handoffs/current-session.md`, providing the receiving agent with a clear brief to start work.

When should I avoid using an automated handoff for agent-to-agent delegation?

You should avoid automated handoff for agent-to-agent delegation if your workflow lacks the Product Org OS v3+ context layer, as full functionality depends on this environment to capture strategic context accurately.
