Handoffs are DeckCrew’s agent-to-agent coordination system.
One agent can delegate work to another with typed intent contracts, and the receiving agent gets the right context to continue.
Handoffs vs workflows vs scheduled tasks
- Workflows define the step logic and order of execution.
- Scheduled tasks decide when a workflow starts.
- Handoffs carry the delegation between agents with structured input, optional approval gates, and automatic retry.
What end users feel
- Less repeated explanation between workflow steps.
- Faster transitions between specialist roles.
- Better continuity across tasks that touch different tools.
Handoffs are not the feature by itself. The value comes from combining coordination with role boundaries and clear responsibilities.
