🎯 Feature Overview

Handoff Workflow (/handoff)

Purpose: Create comprehensive handoff memory and save to Serena

Capabilities:

  • Validates workflow status file
  • Extracts project metadata
  • Generates structured handoff with:
    • Work completed summary
    • Project state
    • Task for next agent
    • Key context points (3-5)
    • Files to review (categorized)
    • Success criteria
    • Next steps
  • Saves to Serena with timestamped naming: [agent]-handoff-YYYY-MM-DD-HHmmss
  • Outputs ready-to-use prompt for next session

Handoff-Receive Workflow (/handoff-receive)

Purpose: Load and display actionable handoff summary

Capabilities:

  • Lists available handoff memories from Serena
  • Applies intelligent selection algorithm:
    • Sorts by timestamp (newest first)
    • Matches agent names with phase
    • Presents menu if ambiguous
  • Validates handoff structure
  • Displays clean, scannable summary
  • Offers interactive menu for next actions
  • Supports both timestamped and legacy formats

🔧 Key Technical Features

Collision-Proof Naming

Format: [agent]-handoff-YYYY-MM-DD-HHmmss

Benefits:

  • Prevents naming conflicts with multiple handoffs per day
  • Second-precision timestamp uniqueness
  • Chronological sorting capability
  • Backward compatible with legacy format

Intelligent Selection

Algorithm:

  1. Sort by timestamp (newest first)
  2. Match agent names with workflow phase
  3. Present menu if multiple ambiguous matches
  4. Auto-select most recent when clear

Comprehensive Error Handling

Scenarios Covered:

  • Missing workflow status file → Clear error, helpful suggestion
  • Missing required fields → Warning with option to continue
  • No handoff memories found → Recovery options listed
  • Multiple ambiguous handoffs → Selection menu presented
  • Incomplete handoff → Warning, continues with available content
  • Serena unavailable → Clear error, troubleshooting steps
  • All file access failures → Graceful error recovery

Backward Compatibility

Supported Formats:

  • New: [agent]-handoff-YYYY-MM-DD-HHmmss (preferred)
  • Legacy: [agent]-handoff-YYYY-MM-DD (supported)
  • Selection algorithm handles both transparently

🚀 Integration Summary

Serena MCP Integration

Handoff Workflow:

  • mcp__serena__activate_project - Activate for writing
  • mcp__serena__write_memory - Save handoff memory

Handoff-Receive Workflow:

🎓 Known Observations

Expected Findings

  1. Markdown Linting Warnings ← Expected

    • Code blocks without language
    • Trailing punctuation in headings
    • These match original PR exactly

  2. XML Tags in Instructions ← Expected

    • BMAD workflows use XML-style markup
    • Standard BMAD format
    • Linter reports as HTML but is intentional

  3. Pre-existing Lint Errors ← Not Related

    • 5 errors in .bmad-* files
    • Not introduced by this PR
    • Should be addressed separately

Future Enhancements

Potential improvements for future work:

  1. Handoff versioning/rollback
  2. Search/filter capabilities
  3. Handoff templates
  4. Analytics/reporting
  5. Archival/cleanup
