## Full Handoffs
|
||||
|
||||
A full handoff transfers ownership to another agent or worktree, then the original agent stops. Treat requests phrased as "hand off", "handoff", "handover", "give this to another agent", "give this to another worktree", "another agent", or "another worktree" as full handoffs unless the user explicitly asks to supervise, monitor, wait for results, track completion, coordinate a DAG, use decision gates, or manage ask/reply.
|
||||
|
||||
Do not use `orca orchestration task-create`, `orca orchestration dispatch --inject`, or `orca orchestration check --wait` for full handoffs. `task-create` is also forbidden because it records coordinator-owned tracking state; if a task row is needed, the user asked for supervised orchestration. Deliver the prompt with worktree/terminal commands, report the created worktree/terminal if useful, and stop monitoring.
|
||||
|
||||
Independent new-worktree handoff:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
orca worktree create --name <task-name> --no-parent --agent codex --prompt "<task brief>" --json
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Use `--no-parent` and omit `--base-branch` for independent top-level handoffs unless the user explicitly asks for stacked work, "branch from current", or a specific base. Put any current-branch context in the prompt.
|
||||
|
||||
Custom Codex model/effort handoff:
|
||||
|
||||
`worktree create --agent codex --prompt ...` launches the known Codex agent but does not accept Codex-specific `--model` or `-c model_reasoning_effort=...` arguments. For requests such as `gpt-5.5 xhigh`, create the independent worktree, launch the requested Codex command there, wait only for TUI readiness if needed to avoid losing input, send the prompt, and stop:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
orca worktree create --name <task-name> --no-parent --json
|
||||
orca terminal create --worktree id:<newWorktreeId> --title <task-name> --command 'codex --model gpt-5.5 -c model_reasoning_effort="xhigh"' --json

||||
orca terminal wait --terminal <handle> --for tui-idle --timeout-ms 60000 --json

|

|

- Coordinated subtask: a live coordinator owns the DAG and waits on this dispatch. Follow the preamble exactly, including `worker_done`, heartbeat/status, `ask`, and `escalation`.
|
||||
- Full handoff means ownership transfer, not supervised dispatch. The original actor is not monitoring a DAG, so do not create lifecycle obligations unless the user explicitly asks you to supervise.
|
||||
- Classify requests containing "hand off", "handoff", "handover", "give this to another agent", "give this to another worktree", "another agent", or "another worktree" as full handoffs by default, even when the user names a custom model or reasoning effort.
|
||||
- Use supervised orchestration only when the user explicitly asks you to "supervise", "monitor", "wait", "track completion", "wait for worker_done", return results, coordinate a DAG, use a decision gate, or manage ask/reply flow.
|
||||
- Do not use `orca orchestration dispatch --inject` for full handoffs. It injects a coordinator preamble that tells the worker to send `worker_done`, heartbeat, `ask`, and post-completion polling messages back to the original terminal.
|
||||
- Do not run `orca orchestration task-create`, `orca orchestration dispatch --inject`, or `orca orchestration check --wait` for full handoffs. Do not peek at terminal output after prompt delivery to monitor progress.
|
||||
- A review-only `worker_done` reports findings; it does not authorize coordinator file edits. After a review-only completion, synthesize findings, ask a decision gate if ownership is unclear, and dispatch or hand off fixes unless the user explicitly asked the coordinator to own fixes.
|
||||
- If the user's plan names a next owner agent (for example, "then use opencode to create a PR"), post-review corrections and PR prep belong to that named owner. The coordinator routes, synthesizes, asks decision gates when needed, and supervises; the named owner edits files and creates the PR.

For full ownership transfer, use non-lifecycle terminal/worktree commands and then stop monitoring unless the user asks for supervision.

Put current-branch context in the prompt instead.
