Use Agent Mail as an optional messaging and file-reservation adapter for explicitly coordinated writers. Triggers: "coordinate writers", "reserve files".
Operate explicit orchestrator, implementer, validator, and scribe roles through a caller-selected agent runtime. Triggers: "agent-native factory", "role-shaped agent panes", "persistent workers".
Initialize minimal AgentOps documentation and verdict storage without taking over repository workflow. Triggers: "bootstrap AgentOps", "initialize AgentOps docs".

| description | Write compact caller-authored session |
A handoff works because the next context can act on exact paths and facts without trusting the author's memory; any line the reader cannot verify from the artifact itself is decoration, not handoff.
Write a factual session artifact that another context can read. Include:
Do not infer a next action, select work, assign ownership, consume the artifact, change tracker or Git state, classify a verdict, govern retries, or restart a runtime. Reading a handoff must not mutate it.
Named failure mode — optimistic closure: writing "done" for work whose evidence path does not exist, so the next context builds on a phantom.
Anti-pattern: narrating the session chronologically ("first I tried…, then…"). Corrective: record end-state facts — artifacts, paths, unresolved risks — and drop the journey.
Write the artifact to the caller-owned handoff location when the caller names
one; otherwise it is explicit requested proof under .agents/ao/handoff/.
There is no permanent generic handoff store — an artifact nobody consumes is
scratch, not evidence.
The ao session handoff and ao session rehydrate commands implement the same
boundary for JSON artifacts under .agents/ao/handoff/. The skill may write
Markdown when that better serves a human, but the content semantics remain
identical.
Return the artifact path and stop.
