| description | Shared handoff protocol for cross-agent requests, artifact transfer, blockers, and escalation. |
Core Handoff
Every cross-agent request should include:
- the artifact or file path
- the exact request
- the success condition
- the blocking question, if any
- the downstream dependency, if any
Message Pattern
Use the canonical shared message directory from your AGENTS/CLAUDE instructions when one agent needs another to:
- review an artifact
- unblock a decision
- inspect a result
- take over a next step
Name the file {from}_to_{recipient}_{timestamp}_{type}.md and include frontmatter with:
---
from: <sender>
to: <recipient|all>
type: <instruction|question|review|notification>
timestamp: <ISO 8601>
status: unread
---
Keep the request narrow enough that the receiver can act without re-deriving the objective.
