Fable Handoff

Leave enough verified context that another agent can resume the work without replaying the whole conversation or rediscovering the repository.

Mission

A handoff is not a summary. It is a resumption contract.

The receiving agent should know what was requested, what was actually changed, which claims are proven, which evidence is stale or missing, what is currently blocked, and the first safe action to take next.

Activate When

• pausing a long-running task;
• transferring work to another agent/human/session;
• context is becoming too large and needs durable compaction;
• a release/PR remains incomplete but execution must stop;
• an automation/cowork loop needs a durable checkpoint.
