# Handoff

Create one concise handoff that lets a fresh agent continue without reconstructing the conversation.

1. Treat invocation arguments or accompanying user text as the next agent's objective. If none is provided, infer the immediate next objective from the conversation.
2. Inspect only the repository state needed to distinguish completed, pending, and unverified work.
3. Write the handoff to the operating system's temporary directory, never into the workspace. Use a short unique filename ending in `.md`.
4. Include:
   - next objective;
   - current state;
   - confirmed decisions and constraints;
   - artifacts to read first, using absolute paths or stable URLs;
   - open work, risks, and unverified claims;
   - suggested explicit Skills, only when they materially help the next step.
5. Reference existing Specs, PRDs, ADRs, commits, and diffs instead of duplicating their contents.
6. Do not invent progress, decisions, test results, or repository state. Redact secrets and sensitive personal information.
7. Do not implement, review, commit, or modify workspace files while handing off.
8. Return the absolute handoff path and one sentence describing what the next agent should do.
