Agent handoff lite
Example session with this skill installed
I've finished researching the competitor pricing for the new API tier. Generate a handoff for the copywriter agent who will draft the landing page. Data is in research_notes.json.
- Read your context and instructions
- Compiled the agent handoff lite
I have generated the handoff document for the copywriter agent and stored it in the workspace.
HANDOFF.md

About this skill
The problem
Context loss during agent-to-agent transfers wastes tokens and leads to hallucinations. Important details like source URLs and specific roadblocks often disappear when switching between specialized agents.
What it does
- Standardizes handoffs using a strict HANDOFF.md schema.
- Explicitly tracks source URLs and file paths to prevent data drift.
- Defines clear ownership transitions with actionable next steps.
- Lists "do-not-assume" constraints to force the next agent to re-verify volatile data.
Why this beats prompting it yourself
General prompts often result in chat history dumps that exceed context windows or miss critical status flags. This skill enforces a structured protocol that ensures the next agent has exactly what they need to resume without human intervention.
Use cases
- Moving a task from a research agent to a technical writing agent.
- Passing a debug log from a diagnostic agent to a PR-authoring agent.
- Handing off qualified leads from a scraper to an outreach specialist.
- Updating project state between agents in a long-running CI/CD pipeline.
