What Does This Mean?
[ AI CODING ][ MACHINE CULTURE ]
The moment a task passes from one agent to another, or from an agent back to a human, usually because the receiving party has different tools, context, or authority than the one that started the work.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"The bug turned out to live entirely in the agent handoff, where half the original task's constraints just got dropped."
LORE & ORIGIN
Named as multi-agent and human-in-the-loop workflows needed a term for the transition point itself, not just the agents on either side of it.
