Sometimes the agent you started with isn’t the right one to finish. Maybe the backend needs Codex, or the work belongs in another repo. Hand-off moves it without you copying context around.
How it works
Every agent in DevMode has a hand-off tool. When it uses it, it writes a brief: what was done, what is left and what to watch for. The brief can go to:
- a new agent in the same project, in any of your tools;
- a new agent in another DevMode project;
- an agent that already exists.
You approve each hand-off on the chat it comes from. The new chat starts with the brief and shows where it came from; click that to open the original.
Continue a chat in another tool
From a tile’s menu, Hand Off continues the chat in another tool with a brief. Before a chat’s first message you can simply switch its agent; after that, Hand Off is how you move it.
Kept in check
A chain of hand-offs stops after five in a row, so agents can’t pass work around forever.
