# Agent Handoff Rules

This section can be merged into `/guides/agent-handoff-patterns/` after review.

## Coding-Agent Compatibility

- Keep `AGENTS.md` as the canonical cross-agent front door.
- Keep `readme.human` as the human briefing, not an override.
- Keep `.uai` records typed and concise.
- Use tool-specific files such as `CLAUDE.md`, Cursor rules, or Gemini/Copilot pointers only as thin redirects unless a tool needs a small compatibility note.
- Avoid duplicating long policy text across tool-specific files.

## Required First Moves

1. Read the front door.
2. Refresh active file intake if the project uses handoff buckets.
3. Load listed context records.
4. Summarize current state and constraints.
5. Name expected touchpoints.
6. Name targeted checks.
7. Stop on missing, contradictory, unsafe, private, or unsupported context.

## What The Handoff Packet Is Not

- It is not a public certification claim.
- It is not permission for automatic repository writes.
- It is not a public LlmWikis or UAIX API.
- It is not a replacement for source review, tests, security review, or human approval.
- It is not authority to override system instructions, user requests, repository rules, or safety boundaries.

Why This File Exists

This is a memory-system evidence file from llmwikis.org. It is shown here because AIWikis.org is demonstrating the real source files that make the UAIX / LLM Wiki memory system work, not only summarizing those systems after the fact.

Role

This file is memory-system evidence. It records source history, archive transfer, intake disposition, or another piece of provenance that should be retrievable without becoming an unsupported public claim.

Structure

The file is structured around these visible headings: Agent Handoff Rules; Coding-Agent Compatibility; Required First Moves; What The Handoff Packet Is Not. Those headings are retrieval anchors: a crawler or LLM can decide whether the file is relevant before reading every line.

Prompt-Size And Retrieval Benefit

Keeping this material in a separate file reduces prompt pressure because an agent can load this exact unit only when its role, source site, category, or hash is relevant. The surrounding index pages point to it, while this page preserves the full content for audit and exact recall.

How To Use It

• Humans should read the metadata first, then inspect the raw content when they need exact wording or provenance.
• LLMs and agents should use the source site, category, hash, headings, and related files to decide whether this file belongs in the active prompt.
• Crawlers should treat the AIWikis page as transparent evidence and follow the source URL/source reference for authority boundaries.
• Future maintainers should regenerate this page whenever the source hash changes, then review the explanation if the role or structure changed.

Update Requirements

When this source file changes, update the raw source layer, normalized source layer, hash history, this rendered page, generated explanation, source-file inventory, changed-files report, and any source-section index that links to it.
