description	Shared handoff protocol for cross-agent requests, artifact transfer, blockers, and escalation.

Core Handoff

Every cross-agent request should include:

1. the artifact or file path
2. the exact request
3. the success condition
4. the blocking question, if any
5. 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.
