HANDOFF / ZAMBO

AI Agent Handoff

By Brennan Zambo

In short: An AI agent handoff moves an unfinished job to another model or agent with its session trail, completed results, pending work, and receipt links intact. The handoff preserves the work without pretending a plan is a completed execution.

Moving work between AIs

A useful handoff names what is complete, what is pending, and where the evidence lives. Give the receiving agent the stable session ID and relevant receipt URLs, then have it inspect prior results before continuing.

Session persistence across models

The session trail stores tool results server-side. That makes the execution history available to a different model while keeping the boundary between completed work, planned work, and failed work explicit.

How do cross-model sessions preserve work?
