FAQPage Schema
How do I transfer working context to a new agent session without losing memory?

To transfer working context to a new agent session without losing memory, you provide a clear state description and constraints for the successor agent to operate effectively and ensure continuity.

What is state-based handoff for agent continuity?

State-based handoff for agent continuity focuses on providing the current working state rather than explicit instructions, empowering the new agent to make informed decisions and continue the task seamlessly.

When should I use a context transfer for agent handoff?

You should use a context transfer for agent handoff when ending a session, switching models or agents, or pausing long-term projects, ensuring the next session can continue without missing a beat.

How do I prepare an agent handoff document for a session transition?

You prepare an agent handoff document for a session transition by running the session-handoff skill, which transfers all necessary information to the next session for uninterrupted work.

What constraints do I need to define for effective agent state transfer?

For effective agent state transfer, you need to define a clear state description and operational constraints, ensuring the successor agent understands the exact context and boundaries to operate effectively.

Does agent handoff work for switching between different models during a project?

Yes, agent handoff works for switching between different models during a project by transferring full working context to the new agent session, ensuring continuity and minimizing memory loss during the model transition.
