Multi-agent handoff playbook

By Justin Helmer · 8 August 2026 · Original playbook

Switching from Grok to Claude to a local model should not reset truth. This playbook is how we move work across agents on LYGO projects without relying on “read the whole chat.”

The packet

Every handoff packet contains:

If a packet lacks done checks, it is a diary entry, not a handoff.

Failure modes

30-minute drill

  1. Pick a tiny task.
  2. Complete it with Agent A.
  3. Seal Continuum claims.
  4. Open Agent B with only the packet (no prior chat).
  5. Agent B must re-verify and extend work.

If B cannot proceed, the packet was incomplete — improve the template, not the mythic language.
