Research Artifact Handoff

Use this skill at the end of a research work session, before delegating to another agent, or when preparing a reproducible research state summary.

Allowed Mutation Mode

Artifact mutation for handoff notes and inventories when authorized. Do not change manuscript content, bibliography entries, claim support, or source decisions while preparing a handoff.

Artifact Inputs

• Research brief
• Source manifest
• Material passport when available
• Claim register
• Bibliography state
• LaTeX build report
• Review package and revision matrix when available

Workflow

1. Inventory artifacts, their freshness, and their owner.
2. Summarize completed work, decisions, verification, and open blockers.
3. Distinguish evidence-backed facts, assumptions, and unresolved questions.
4. Name the next safe action and the human checkpoint required before mutation.
5. Include privacy, sharing, or venue-disclosure constraints when known.

Artifact Outputs

• Handoff summary
• Artifact inventory
• Open blocker list
• Next safe action

Source Support

Do not upgrade assumptions into facts during handoff. Link claims to source manifest entries, bibliography keys, or claim-register records, and label unverified material clearly.

Human Checkpoints

The human researcher confirms what can be shared, what remains private, and which unresolved decisions require human review before further work.
