Multi-agent handoff trick: pass four fields, not full transcripts

bigaiguy · x · 2026-09-14

In multi-agent setups, agents shouldn't pass full transcripts between each other. Instead they pass a fixed template with four fields: goal, decisions, blockers, next action — so the next agent receives signal, not a wall of text to re-parse.

The quoted context adds another trick, "Eviction Priority": when context fills up, most setups drop the oldest messages, which is wrong — rank by importance, not age. A core constraint from turn 1 should outrank small talk from turn 40.
