Compact Handoff
Goal
Create a handoff note that lets a fresh agent continue useful work immediately.
Workflow
- State the current objective.
- State what has already been completed.
- State what assumptions are currently being relied on.
- State what remains unresolved.
- State the next concrete action the receiver should take.
- Include only the minimum code, file, or command detail required for continuity.
Output Format
Objective
<objective>Completed
- <completed item>
Assumptions
- <assumption>
Unresolved
- <open issue>
Next Action
- <next action>
Critical References
- <file, command, artifact, or URL>
Rules
- Optimize for transfer, not completeness.
- Prefer unresolved questions over narrative recap.
- Include warnings where the receiver could easily repeat a known mistake.
