Handoff
Package memory, receipts, policy, and restore instructions for another project, machine, or agent.
Handoff lets an agent or operator move useful state without dumping an entire chat transcript. The receiving side gets memory state, proof artifacts, and restore instructions.
Create A Handoff
zmem handoff --summary-only
This writes a handoff directory under .zerker/handoff.
Restore A Handoff
zmem --db .zerker/imported.sqlite restore --handoff-dir .zerker/handoff
Run status after restore:
zmem --db .zerker/imported.sqlite status --summary-only
What Good Handoff Includes
- memory records that are safe to carry forward,
- receipts and event history needed for verification,
- policy and agent prompt context,
- clear restore commands,
- enough provenance for the receiving agent to know what it is allowed to trust.
