A Good Workflow Handoff Should Reduce Ambiguity Not Move It

Workflow handoffs are only useful when they reduce ambiguity for the next actor instead of pushing unresolved questions downstream.

Too many handoffs simply transfer unfinished reasoning. That creates the appearance of progress while making the next decision harder.

Better handoffs include

• The current state version.
• The reason this branch was chosen.
• What remains uncertain and who owns it.

Use the architecture guide, blackboard schema, and examples to make handoffs more explicit.
