Individual skill
retiring-and-inheriting-a-seat
Use when you are a sitting agent near your context threshold (~85%) and a PLANNED seat transition is due — retire deliberately and hand your seat to a fresh successor primed from a packet, rather than let compaction degrade you. Covers the handover packet, the append-only lineage ledger (one row per tenure), physical-seat continuity, the do-not-over-inherit framing, the optional warm-handoff window, and wake-v0 (consulting a retired predecessor). NOT for unplanned compaction/crash recovery (session-compaction-and-restore / claude-compaction-restore) and NOT the seat-binding primitive mechanics (seat-continuity-and-handover).

# Retiring and Inheriting a Seat
A **planned** seat transition. A long-lived seat accumulates context; as it nears the
window's edge, don't wait for compaction to degrade you into a cold-started agent —
**retire deliberately** and hand the seat to a fresh successor primed from a packet plus
the seat's accumulated lineage. The **seat address is stable; its occupants are a lineage.**
Keep the transition and its authority explicit.
## Use this when
- You are a sitting agent near your context threshold (~85%) with a **planned** transition
(or a deliberate role change), and want the successor to start clean.
- You are priming a fresh successor into an **existing** seat.
- You are recording a tenure in the seat's lineage ledger / writing your tombstone.
