Agent Handoff

Seamless context transition for AI agent collaboration. Enable GitHub Copilot to spawn focused chat sessions with intelligent context management.

Why?

Long AI conversations get cluttered. Agent Handoff lets AI assistants create fresh, focused chat sessions—analyzing current context, extracting what matters, and delegating work to new threads.

Perfect for:

• Breaking complex projects into focused subtasks
• Transitioning between development phases
• Managing conversation scope and context overflow

Features

• Zero Configuration - Works immediately with GitHub Copilot
• Smart Context Transfer - AI extracts relevant information for new sessions
• Automatic Chat Spawning - Opens new panels with contextual prompts
• LLM Tool Integration - Registered as handoff tool for language models

Installation

Install from the VS Code Marketplace or search "Agent Handoff" in VS Code Extensions.

Usage

Once installed, simply ask GitHub Copilot to hand off work:

• "Create a handoff for implementing the user dashboard"
• "Start a fresh chat to handle the API documentation"
• "Hand this off to a new session focused on testing"

The AI will analyze your conversation, extract relevant context, and spawn a new focused chat session.

Requirements

• VS Code 1.106.0+
• GitHub Copilot or compatible language model provider
