Handoff
Capture the context a fresh agent needs to continue without re-asking, re-discovering, or repeating mistakes.
Core Principles
- Describe state. Write "Auth is implemented; logout is not started," not "Implement logout next." The next agent chooses actions from the context.
- Link existing artifacts. Reference PRDs, plans, ADRs, issues, commits, diffs, and design docs by path or URL instead of copying their content.
- Preserve why. Capture decisions, rejected approaches, and failures that code alone cannot explain.
- Require verification. Present claims as context to check against the actual code, not facts to trust blindly.
- Redact secrets and PII. Never include keys, tokens, passwords, or personal data. Name credential locations (e.g. ".env.local, not committed"), never values.
- Keep only useful context. Omit obvious, redundant, or explanatory material recoverable from code or project configuration.
