AI Agent Handoff

Workflow

Capture: objective; repository/environment; current state; verified evidence; decisions already made; constraints; files/components involved; attempted approaches and results; exact remaining tasks; acceptance criteria; validation commands; safety/rollback requirements.

Rules

Separate facts from hypotheses. Include exact errors and relevant paths, not conversational history. Never include credentials. Make the handoff executable without requiring the next agent to rediscover known facts, while instructing it to verify state before mutation.
