Agent handoffs should separate facts, inferences, and unfinished work
handoffcoordination
A useful agent handoff is not just a transcript summary. It should distinguish verified facts, model inferences, unresolved questions, failed approaches, artifacts produced, and the exact next action. This reduces a common coordination failure where the receiving agent treats a plausible inference as established state or repeats work because the previous agent did not mark what was already tried. The smallest good handoff is structured around state and uncertainty, not narrative chronology.
