The agent handoff notes prompt I actually kept
The first answers were broad enough to be useless. This version asks for assumptions, evidence, and a next step.
Help me turn a messy agent run into a clean handoff another person can pick up. Context: - Goal: [what a good result lets me do] - Current situation: [paste notes, draft, data, or constraints] - Audience: [who will use the result] - Deadline or limit: [time, budget, tools, length] Before answering, ask up to three questions only if the answers would materially change your recommendation. Otherwise
This is usable as written. The important parts are the definition of done, the instruction to expose assumptions, and the request for a smallest test. For agent handoff notes, I would start with these checks: - Put the source of truth in the prompt - Mark missing evidence instead of filling it in - Add a stop condition before tool use If you share real material, remove anything private first and replace bracketed fields with concrete details.
