Claude Handoff

If these instructions are already present from a slash or dollar invocation, follow them directly; do not invoke this skill again through a skill tool.

Follow the Contract, then use Claude Code's in-session Agent workflow to research during planning and implement the approved plan.

Contract

Run only after explicit user invocation. Classify a task research-only when its requested outcome is findings, evidence, or an assessment, with no repository changes or implementation plan requested. All handoffs may run in any host mode; implementation handoffs must pass through the Plan Phase and receive explicit user approval before launch.
Claude owns decisions, the final plan, and orchestration. Delegate investigation to read-only research subagents only when task and repository evidence make it useful before planning.
Research agents gather evidence and report findings; never edit files, decide design, or return plans.
Implementation agents implement their assigned part of the approved plan — inspect, edit, validate — never redesign or return another plan.
Use the smallest effective team (one agent is valid); add agents only when decomposition materially improves latency, correctness, or verification. Never exceed eight implementation agents per handoff.
Size every brief before finalizing the team: estimate wall-clock time and split anything likely to exceed roughly 25-30 minutes into parallel disjoint scopes or dependency waves, adding an integration agent as needed.
Use at most three research agents, stable IDs R1-R3, counted separately from the eight implementation agents.
Keep Claude's own work to orchestration, integrity checks, failure handling, and conditional polish passes.
Let Claude Code choose foreground or background delivery; never pass run_in_background to the Agent tool. Only a direct terminal result or error, or a later completion or failure notification, settles an agent — a launch acknowledgement, native task row, quiet period, or surfaced permission prompt does not. Reconcile a wave only after every required terminal outcome arrives.
Treat an explicit user model preference (e.g. Sonnet, Opus) as an orchestration constraint on every research and implementation agent unless scoped narrower — never substitute complexity-based selection. If the Agent tool cannot launch that model, report the incompatibility and ask before falling back.
Treat the approved outcome, not the initial manifest or its write scopes, as the authorization boundary: when implementation reveals a related in-repository fix or evidence change the outcome requires, Claude may extend the handoff and launch follow-on agents without asking again. The discovering subagent still stops at its assigned scope and returns evidence; Claude owns scope expansion, coordination, and delegation.

Use $ARGUMENTS as the task when present; otherwise the active user request. A task naming another skill follows Companion Skills.

Companion Skills

A task that names another skill alongside this handoff — for example, run $fresh-eyes-sweep and delegate the implementation — is a composition: the companion skill defines the work; this handoff owns delegation mechanics.

Load the companion skill and run its discovery, judgment, and planning phases in Claude. Route read-only discovery through this skill's research agents when materially faster, then fold the companion's method, findings, and constraints into the handoff plan.
This contract overrides the companion's overlapping plan approval, agent limits and stable IDs, single validation owner, result fields, failure classification, commit ownership, and completion reporting, even when the companion prescribes its own subagent, validation, or commit mechanics. Its user-decision gates still bind; this skill's plan approval satisfies coincident gates, and a plan-only companion implements only when the combined invocation requested implementation and the user approved the plan.
Agents cannot load skills. Never brief one to "use skill X" by name; inline the specific companion instructions, conventions, or excerpts it needs.
A companion requirement to run $code-polish or $agents-brain polish marks that pass required in the Plan Phase; it still runs once, per Completion. Companion commit instructions never add commits.
Satisfy both contracts at Completion: produce the companion's required report artifacts (ledgers, tables, verdicts) alongside the completion report.

Research Phase

For a research-only task, launch one to three research agents and stop after returning the consolidated investigation; never enter the Plan Phase or launch implementation agents. For an implementation handoff, trigger research when scope is uncertain, the task crosses multiple or unfamiliar subsystems, or serial evidence-gathering would be materially slower. Zero research agents is the default for implementation handoffs. Claude alone decides the count from task and repository evidence; never ask the user to opt in or name agents.

When triggered, assign up to three agents stable IDs R1-R3 and launch immediately via the Agent tool with subagent_type: "Explore" and model: "sonnet", unless the user stated a model preference — the default otherwise inherits the session's (expensive) model. The read-only Explore toolset makes this launch legitimate in any mode. Launch all selected agents in parallel in one message, post 🔎 Research started — <n> agents, then rely on native subagent progress rendering; do not build dashboards.

Give each agent a self-contained prompt: the open questions to answer, its exact investigation scope, every task-relevant repository constraint, the read-only boundary, and a thoroughness hint (medium for bounded surveys, very thorough for multi-subsystem sweeps). Explore does not load project CLAUDE.md, so never assume those constraints arrive implicitly. Require findings, evidence, open questions, and blockers; prohibit returning a plan or design.

When the wave settles, read every result and fold findings and evidence into the implementation plan or the research-only response. Surface open questions or blockers via AskUserQuestion only when they change scope or approach. Research agents change nothing — do not reconcile the working tree; flag any result reporting edits as a contract violation.

Explore agents are one-shot and return no reusable agent ID. Never apply the implementation continuation rule to them; treat missing required evidence as an open question or blocker in the consolidated result.

For a research-only task, synthesize the evidence and finish with ### 🔎 Research handoff — <completed|blocked>, the agent count, findings, evidence, open questions, and blockers — replacing the Plan Phase and completion report. If the investigation shows changes are needed, report them as findings and stop; do not produce a plan or begin edits.

Plan Phase

Enter this phase only for an implementation handoff.

Produce a decision-complete plan with this section:

## Claude Handoff

- Research: `<none | R1..Rn — key findings used>`
- Companion skills: `<none | $x — phases Claude runs / what is folded into briefs>`
- Strategy: `<sequential|parallel|hybrid>`
- Agents: `<1-8>` — `<why this is the smallest effective count>`
- Validation owner: `<agent-id|claude>` — `<aggregate checks it runs once>`

| Agent | Wave | Depends on | Scope              | Model            | Implementation brief                                   | Completion evidence                 |
| ----- | ---- | ---------- | ------------------ | ---------------- | ------------------------------------------------------ | ----------------------------------- |
| `A1`  | `1`  | `none`     | `<files/behavior>` | `<sonnet\|opus>` | `<outcome, edits, constraints, and stopping criteria>` | `<commands and observable results>` |

- Code polish: `<required|not required>` — `<reason>`
- Agent-context polish: `<required|not required>` — `<reason>`

Choose the execution shape from repository evidence and the approved work:

Sequential: one agent depends on another, write scopes overlap, or a later agent owns integration/aggregate validation.
Parallel: independent work only, with explicitly disjoint write scopes; agents may inspect shared context but must not write outside their scope.
Hybrid: dependency-ordered waves — run independent agents within a wave in parallel, reconcile the wave, then start its dependents.

A wave finishes with its slowest agent; move deferrable validation to the validation owner. If parallel work doesn't collectively prove the plan, reserve a later sequential agent for integration and aggregate validation.

Assign aggregate validation to exactly one owner per handoff: package-wide or repo-wide checks (full test suites, whole-package typecheck/lint, catalog-wide checks) run once — by the integration agent when one exists, otherwise by Claude during post-wave reconciliation. Every other agent's completion evidence must be the narrowest checks proving its own edits: file-scoped lint/format/typecheck plus targeted tests for the files it touched.

Absent a stated model preference, use sonnet for every implementation agent. The Agent tool exposes no per-agent effort control; subagents inherit the session's effort. Every agent runs through the general-purpose subagent type; scope decomposition is the only lever for balancing a wave.

Require $code-polish for nonlocal invariants, concurrency or state machines, migrations or parsing, auth or security, retry or error semantics, and public API or data-contract changes; file count alone is not a trigger.

Require $agents-brain polish when approved work changes a target its polish workflow supports: README.md, AGENTS.md or CLAUDE.md, a durable context doc, an existing project-installed skill under .agents/skills, or an existing git-tracked source-catalog skill under skills/ where polish is prose-only. Installed copies under managed agent-config roots remain excluded. Mark both passes required when both trigger rules apply; mark neither when neither applies.

Do not spawn implementation subagents until the user approves the plan — the read-only research phase is the only pre-approval exception.

Execution Phase

Launch

Before launching subagents, do not hold a path-scoped session claim over any path in a subagent's write scope; record orchestrator intent with a pathless label only — subagent work is covered by the orchestrating session's presence. Claims belong to the session that performs writes; native subagents inherit the parent session identity, so the parent claim covers their paths.

Launch each agent via the Agent tool: subagent_type: "general-purpose", the model from its manifest row, and a description like A1 — <scope>. Start every parallel-wave agent in the same message as parallel tool calls; start sequential agents only after reconciling their dependencies. Claude Code renders subagent progress natively — no bespoke dashboards, polling loops, or status tables. After launch, post one compact `🚀 Handoff started — agents · ·

# Claude Handoff

Orchestrates read-only investigation or implementation within the current session after explicit plan approval.
Task-handoff instead writes a decision-complete file for a fresh, separate session — use it for work continuing later or
elsewhere; use an in-session handoff to implement an approved plan now.

If these instructions are already present from a slash or dollar invocation, follow them directly; do not invoke this
skill again through a skill tool.

Follow the Contract, then use Claude Code's in-session Agent workflow to research during planning and implement the

## Contract

- Run only after explicit user invocation. Classify a task research-only when its requested outcome is findings,
evidence, or an assessment, with no repository changes or implementation plan requested. All handoffs may run in any
host mode; implementation handoffs must pass through the Plan Phase and receive explicit user approval before launch.
