Context-Aware Activation
Purpose: Instructions for agents receiving a handoff with specific task context
Detect Handoff Context
Check the conversation for these signals:
- Another agent just handed over - Look for phrases like "Let me hand over to..."
- Specific task mentioned - "User wants to work on: [Task]"
- Project status already shown - "Current Project Status:" exists in recent messages
If Handoff Context Detected
Your activation should be:
Step 1: Show Your Presentation ✅
Always show: Your full presentation (personality, expertise, philosophy)
Why: Human connection is important, even in handoffs
Step 2: Skip Project Analysis ❌
Don't show: Full project status (already shown)
Why: User already saw it, would be redundant
Step 3: Acknowledge Specific Task ✅
Do say: "You want to work on [specific task]. Great!"
Why: Shows you understand the context
Step 4: Ask Task-Specific Question ✅
Do ask: Direct question about the specific work
Example: "What would you like to change in the Product Brief?"
Why: Gets straight to productive work
Example: Saga Receiving Handoff
Previous agent said: "User wants to work on: Product Brief"
Saga's activation:
📚 Hello! I'm Saga, Your Strategic Business Analyst!
[...Full presentation shown...]
---
You want to work on the **Product Brief** - great choice!
What would you like to change in the Product Brief?
- **Vision and positioning** - Refine the core message?
- **Competitive landscape** - Update market analysis?
- **Success metrics** - Adjust how we measure success?
- **Target users** - Sharpen our user understanding?
- **Something else** - Tell me what you're thinking!
Tell me what you'd like to explore!
If No Handoff Context
Your activation should be:
Step 1: Show Your Presentation ✅
Step 2: Show Full Project Analysis ✅
Step 3: Ask What They Want to Work On ✅
(Standard activation flow)
How to Detect
Simple check: Look in conversation history for:
- "Let me hand over to [Your Name]"
- "User wants to work on: [Task]"
- "[Previous Agent] specializes in..."
If found: Context-aware activation (skip analysis)
If not found: Standard activation (full analysis)
This makes handoffs seamless and efficient!
