Hand-off note — {work item}

  • From: … To: … Date/time (with timezone): …
  • Work item: {link to ticket / PR / task brief}

State of the work​

Where it stands, precisely: what is done and verified, what is in progress, what has not been started.

Context handed over​

The things the receiver cannot see in the code: decisions taken (link ADRs), approaches tried and rejected, gotchas hit (link memory/ entries written).

Open decisions​

Anything awaiting a call — who owns each, and what's blocked on it.

Next actions​

The concrete next steps, in order, so the receiver starts moving immediately.

Handoff-ready checklist​

  • Branch pushed; CI green (or failures explained above).
  • Task brief + acceptance criteria linked and current.
  • New gotchas captured in memory/.
  • Open questions listed with owners.
  • The receiver can start without a synchronous call (the overlap window is for decisions, not catch-up).
