To transfer task state safely between agents, create a handoff file under .context/handoffs/ detailing the objective, audience, and current state. This enforces a strict handoff contract to ensure seamless continuation without leaking durable memory or changing ownership.

A handoff contract is a structured payload enforcing safe state transfer between agents or sessions. It requires specific fields like Objective, Audience, Creation Snapshot, State, Evidence, and Boundaries to preserve accountability and minimize risk during temporary task handoffs.

You can resume a paused debug session across repositories by using a mode-specific handoff payload. This Skill supports Debug and Resume modes, storing artifacts under .context/handoffs/ to enable seamless continuation of transient task state across workspaces or teams.

Yes, this Skill is specifically designed to transfer transient task state without leaking durable memory or changing ownership. It enforces strict evidence requirements and mode-specific payloads to ensure safe continuation across sessions, subagents, or workspaces.

Supported handoff modes include Resume, Delegation, Debug, Review, Compaction, and Coordination. Each mode uses a specific payload format to fit different continuation needs while enforcing the handoff contract and strict evidence requirements.

Context transfers fail to preserve accountability when missing required handoff contract fields like Evidence, State, or Boundaries. This Skill enforces these strict evidence requirements and structured payloads to minimize risk and maintain accountability during task handoffs.
