Write Handoff

Give the next worker enough stable context to complete one bounded job without recreating the owning Plan or docs.

Use workflow-language.md, review-language.md for review work, and handoff-template.md.

Choose intent and lifecycle

Common types are implementation/continuation, research, refactor/bugfix, review, review-continuation, and review-fix. Use the smallest type that describes the next job.

Choose lifecycle from expected use:

• Immediate: next known worker or near-term continuation; current paths and volatile status may help.
• Durable: later or unknown worker, or reusable work across tools; emphasize stable behavior, acceptance criteria, and scope boundaries.

Default to Immediate unless the expected lifecycle clearly requires Durable. A handoff in chat or a file can be either; file storage does not imply durability.
