Agents-Collab.md – A live handoff protocol for multi-agent projects
AGENTS-COLLAB.md introduces a live handoff protocol designed for multi-agent collaboration in AI-assisted projects. It provides a framework for multiple AI agents to share the current state of a project, including active decisions and traps discovered in production. This document complements AGENTS.md, which serves as a static reference for a single agent's context and conventions.
- ▪AGENTS-COLLAB.md allows multiple AI agents to collaborate effectively by sharing real-time project information.
- ▪It includes sections for current project state, active decisions, and agent responsibilities to facilitate smooth transitions between agents.
- ▪The document is designed to be concise, taking under three minutes to read, and is updated at the end of each relevant session.

AGENTS-COLLAB.md solves a different problem: what happens when multiple AI agents — Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, Cursor — work on the same project across different sessions, sometimes in parallel? Each agent arrives cold. It doesn't know what the previous agent decided five minutes ago, which architectural bets are still in-flight, or which corners of the codebase just burned someone. It has to re-derive everything from scratch, and it often gets it wrong. AGENTS-COLLAB.md is the live handoff layer between agents.
