Name the owner
Is one owner named for each active piece of work?
Teams & Agents
Hand off the work.Keep the context.
Coordinate research, implementation and review around explicit tasks. LeanCTX keeps claims, context handoffs, dependency limits and outcomes connected while your host runs the agents.
A workflow to try
Research finds the problem. Implementation and review take it from there.
- Starting material
- A bounded task, source references and the current working state.
- What you work toward
- An explicit next responsibility without copying the whole conversation.
Assign
Define each role.
Assign a bounded task, source scope and expected result. Record ownership through claims and leases, and bound the work graph with concurrency, budget and cancellation rules.
- Make visible
- Role, task scope and expected result.
- Important boundary
- A role brief is not an access control or a filesystem lock.
Hand off
Pass the essentials.
Send implementation the finding and sources; send review the change and evidence. Include open questions and access assumptions.
- Transfer
- Selected findings, source references and next actions.
- Confirm
- Receipt of a handoff and completion are different events.
Continue together
Carry knowledge forward.
Save findings that the team will need again. Retrieve them when work resumes and check whether their sources or assumptions have changed.
- Across people
- A retrievable decision and the sources behind it.
- Across sessions
- An explicit record of completed and unfinished work.
What good looks like
Is the next agent ready to continue?
Try one task with two agents. Check that the receiver can use the brief and access its sources. Verify the work before marking it complete.
Transfer the essentials
Can the receiving agent access the referenced sources?
Verify completion
Are completion and verification recorded separately from delivery?
Keep in scope
Your host launches agents. The Agent Bus coordinates messages and claims; the Work Graph bounds delegation. A delivered handoff is not proof that the task succeeded, and a claim does not grant new source access.
Another way to use LeanCTX
AI Coding
Give your coding agent the source, detail and test signals that matter to the change.
