# Project Handoff

Use one client-neutral handshake for every route. Before acting, read `../shared/cross-client-handoff.md` completely and follow its schema and state machine.

## Choose the route

- If the user names Claude or Codex, use that client as `to`.
- If the user asks for the next or a fresh session without naming a client, set `to` to the current client. This is the default for Claude-to-Claude and Codex-to-Codex continuation.
- Use `to: either` only when the task is deliberately client-agnostic.
- Set `from` to the current client, or `human` when invoked outside a client session.

All routes write `<project-root>/.context/ai-handoff.md`. Do not create a separate client-specific handoff file.
