Goal

Ensure that when one agent finishes work and another begins, the receiving agent has every piece of context needed to continue without interruption. Zero context loss between agents is the standard.

Instructions

Step 1 — Confirm Completion Criteria Are Met

Before writing a handoff, verify that the work being handed off is actually complete:

• All code changes are saved (no unsaved buffers).
• Tests relevant to changed files pass (or failures are documented in the handoff).
• If a new decision was made (architecture, naming, environment, policy), it has been logged via the decision-logger skill.
• The task's next_action field in tasks.json reflects what the receiving agent should do next, not what the sending agent just did.

If any of these are unmet, resolve them before writing the handoff. A handoff written for incomplete work creates technical debt.

Step 2 — Write the Handoff Entry
