Agent Handoff

An agent handoff is the transfer of context, files, or tasks from one AI agent to another so work can continue without losing project intent.

An agent handoff keeps a workflow moving when a task needs a different tool, model, or specialist. In Framer, this can mean passing site context from a design-focused agent to a coding or CMS-focused agent while preserving the user’s goals and constraints.
