successor-handoff

What problem does it solve?

This Skill addresses the challenge of orchestrating long-running autonomous workflows where a single Claude context window cannot hold the full run, by providing mid-run agent-to-agent handoff capabilities.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Mid-Run Handoff: Spawns new successor agents when context pressure rises, maintaining continuity without human intervention.
• File-First Subagents: Leans on disk-based memory to manage subagent contexts efficiently.
• Orchestrator: Parent orchestrator remains lean by reading only status files, minimizing the risk of context overflow.
• Use Case: Ideal for overnight research, multi-hour experiments, and long jobs requiring a continuous agent without a human present.

Quick Start

Set up your workflow using the successor-handoff skill. Ensure all tracks are initialized and ready for autonomous execution.
