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
- Inventory artifacts, their freshness, and their owner.
- Summarize completed work, decisions, verification, and open blockers.
- Distinguish evidence-backed facts, assumptions, and unresolved questions.
- Name the next safe action and the human checkpoint required before mutation.
- 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.
