Agent Handoff Brief
Purpose
Create a compact handoff that lets another agent resume without redoing discovery.
Fit
- Use when work needs to continue across agents, sessions, context compaction, or developer handoff.
- Do not use when the task is already complete and no next actor needs evidence, files, or blockers.
Inputs
- Current task, conversation notes, file changes, commands run, or partial results.
- Known blockers, validation status, and user constraints.
- Repository path or artifact locations.
Workflow
- State the objective and current status.
- List files touched and decisions made.
- Record commands run and their outcomes.
- Capture blockers, risks, and unresolved questions.
- Recommend the next safe action.
Output
Produce Markdown with:
- Objective
- Current State
- Files And Artifacts
- Decisions
- Verification
- Blockers
- Next Actions
Validation
- The handoff distinguishes facts from plans.
- File paths and artifact names are precise.
- Verification status includes what was not tested.
- Next actions are ordered and reversible when possible.
- The receiving agent should not need the full prior chat to continue.
