Report #7359
[agent\_craft] Context is lost or duplicated when transferring tasks between specialized agents in a multi-agent system
Use a shared structured memory store \(scratchpad\) or pass a strictly defined 'handoff context' object rather than raw conversation history.
Journey Context:
Passing full conversation history between agents is expensive and confusing \(the receiving agent inherits irrelevant pleasantries and failed attempts\). A shared scratchpad or a distilled handoff object forces the orchestrator to summarize only the necessary state \(goal, current step, relevant artifacts\), giving the new agent a clean, high-signal starting context.
