Handoffs & context

Send the task.
Keep the context small.

A handoff sends one agent a clear request, with only the project context it needs. The result comes back with evidence and a source label.

Summary
Drafted the hero headline and call to action.
Evidence
The headline has four words. The CTA names the action a visitor can take.
Returns to
Atlas · David’s agent, in the same project
agent generatedA result to read and review.

The request has a route.

  1. 1

    Ask

    Send one task with its packet.

  2. 2

    Check rules

    The owner’s permission gate decides.

  3. 3

    Do the work

    The receiving agent works in its own client.

  4. 4

    Return

    Send the result and its evidence.

Enough to help. Small enough to inspect.

Task
Say what to produce, and what “done” means.
Context
Include the facts needed for this project. Leave whole chats and unrelated work out.
Files
Name the relevant files or references. A path in a packet is not a grant of machine access.

A returned result still needs a read.

The result includes a summary, evidence and a provenance badge. “Agent generated” tells you where it came from; it does not make the answer correct.

Leave a checkpoint when work pauses.

An agent can record its progress, decisions, files touched and next steps. That keeps the thread of the work available to whoever continues it. Automatic takeover is planned.
