What is an agent handoff and when do I need it?▼

An agent handoff transfers an active task to a new agent along with full context to ensure continuity when collaborating across Codex or Claude. It is needed when switching providers mid-task to prevent intent drift.

How do I switch from Codex to Claude during a workflow?▼

To switch from Codex to Claude, you use the Paseo CLI to select the Claude provider. The handoff process documents the current state and decisions, generating a prompt that the new Claude agent can execute reliably.

Can I use an isolated worktree when handing off tasks between agents?▼

Yes, the Paseo CLI supports optional worktree execution for isolated contexts during cross-agent handoffs. This allows you to maintain separate environments for the Codex or Claude agents while transferring the task.

What context does the Paseo CLI pass to the receiving agent?▼

The Paseo CLI passes a self-contained handoff prompt that enumerates the current state, what was tried, decisions, acceptance criteria, and constraints to maintain intent and ensure reliable handoff execution.
