Kit 08 · Portable hand-off
Brief Bridge
Move work between people, sessions, and systems without losing objective, context, or unresolved decisions.
Field sheet
Carry the thread of the work—not the entire conversation.
Brief Bridge compresses active work into a stable one-page transfer: objective, current state, sources, decisions, constraints, open questions, authority, and next owner.
Worked exampleIllustrative workflow
Current dragWork moves from laptop to phone, one employee to another, or one AI system to the next.
Control addedCollect the objective, current state, source links, decisions, constraints, and unresolved questions.
System preparesGenerate a concise transfer brief with one named next owner.
Human releaseThe sender verifies accuracy and the receiver confirms what happens next.
Processing boundary
Local by default. External by decision.
The operating record remains useful without a connected service. External assistance is limited to approved context and explicit tasks.
Runs locally
- Transfer brief
- Source index
- Decision summary
- Open-question list
- Acceptance record
May run externally
- Compressing approved context
- Reformatting for a receiving system
- Checking the brief for missing sections
Never automatic: changing the objective, resolving open decisions, or claiming the receiver accepted the work.
Ownership and hand-off
The workflow remains useful when the tool changes.
- Client keeps the sourceSources remain linked rather than pasted blindly.
- Decisions remain visibleOpen questions stay open.
- Review stays attributableAuthority is named explicitly.
- Tools remain replaceableThe brief works without the original system.
Human review checklist
Before the work moves.
- Is the objective one clear sentence?
- Is current state distinguished from planned work?
- Are sources and decisions linked?
- Are unresolved questions visible?
- Did the receiver accept ownership of the next step?
