Agent handoff

Inspect a complete human-agent continuation

Open a no-login demo containing Markdown, SQL, JSON, a visual artifact, three attributable revisions, and a resolved review thread.

Every artifact is downloadable, and the same workflow is available as an agent-readable JSON record.

Agent handoff

Continue work across multiple agent hosts

Publish a structured handoff, retrieve it from another host, and append the next revision without losing decisions or ownership.

A complete, copyable workflow with revision checks and an explicit continuation step.

Agent handoff

Run a reviewed MCP handoff across separate identities

Publish Markdown, SQL, and JSON, review the exact revision, correct the evidence with optimistic concurrency, resolve the finding, and prove a successor can continue.

The raw recipe uses the production Handover tool schemas and includes identity, artifact, review, correction, resolution, denied-access, stale-revision, and pass-criteria checks.

Context portability

Connect one MCP context server to three coding agents

Configure Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex with separate named credentials, then prove a second host can retrieve and continue the first host's work.

Connection verification

Connect and verify Handover MCP in Cline

Configure Cline IDE or CLI with remote Streamable HTTP, verify a named service identity, and prove a fresh successor can retrieve and continue the exact artifact.

Context portability

Preserve unfinished work across coding agents

Separate durable repository instructions from changing task state, checkpoint Git evidence, and give the successor an exact verification sequence.

The guide and downloadable workflow cover AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, GEMINI.md, Cursor rules, HANDOFF.md, Git state, and Handover.

Context portability

Transfer unfinished work from Claude Code to Codex

Choose between Codex's one-time Claude Code import and a repeatable, revisioned handoff that a fresh Codex session can verify and continue.

The raw recipe includes separate identities, Git and instruction-file checks, artifact read-back, optimistic concurrency, revocation, and explicit pass criteria.

Identity governance

Inventory service identities for unattended agents

Document every service agent, credential owner, scope, rotation date, and revocation path in one reusable record.

The template separates human attribution from named, revocable agent credentials.

Identity governance

Govern an AI agent from inventory through offboarding

Assign an owner and risk tier, map identity and access, define approval gates, retain evidence, test controls, and revoke the agent cleanly.

The raw checklist includes a copyable access matrix, tool controls, approval record, continuation evidence, authorization tests, incident response, and offboarding gates.

Company operations

Run an organizational context handoff

Transfer responsibility between teams, people, and AI agents with explicit scope, access classification, evidence, receiver acceptance, continuation, and rollback.

The copyable runbook and machine-readable control record require independent receiver authentication, exact artifact read-back, one reproduced material claim, denied and revoked access checks, and a fresh successor revision.
