AI coding agent handoff

Hand off AI-built code without two weeks of discovery.

RAAV turns agent work into a reviewable handoff with current product facts, submit history, verification, and audit. The next owner can see what shipped before touching the code.

What RAAV gives agents

  • Handoffs include what changed, why, and what remains risky
  • The next owner receives current product state with the code
  • Founders review the audit trail instead of a folder tour
  • Swimlanes show what was in flight at handoff time

The problem

When work moves between agent sessions, a freelancer, or a new hire, the context is spread across chats and diffs. The receiver spends weeks reconstructing intent.

The RAAV layer

RAAV turns the last run into a handoff record: current product facts, open work, files changed, checks run, risks, and decisions still waiting. The next person starts there instead of reconstructing the project from commit messages.

A handoff is only as good as the memory behind it

Git blame shows diffs, not intent. A chat summary helps once but rarely ties files, verification, and open decisions together. RAAV keeps a durable record that any receiver can read.

The receiver needs intent, not a folder tour

Before touching code, a new developer or agent needs the product promise, current goals, explicit exclusions, and settled founder decisions.

RAAV packages that context so the receiver starts from product truth instead of reverse-engineering it.

  • Product Handbook for durable intent
  • Open decisions and risks in one place
  • Acceptance criteria attached to work

Clean up assumptions before the handoff

At handoff, inferred facts should be visible as proposals so the founder can confirm what becomes shared truth for the next owner.

That review prevents a temporary implementation guess from being handed over as a product decision.

  • Confirmed vs inferred facts kept separate
  • Proposals and memory candidates for review
  • Founder sign-off before durable writes

Show what was in flight when ownership changed

Swimlanes show what was still in flight at the handoff. The exported work history lists completed items and the checks recorded for them.

The receiver reads a record instead of running discovery.

  • Swimlanes and claims show in-flight work
  • Submit history ties files to verification
  • Audit export as the handoff package

How the agent loop works

RAAV does not replace your coding agent. It gives the agent a durable operating system for product truth, task ownership, and proof.

Record

Agents submit summary, files, verification, and risks after each run.

Package

RAAV exports product truth, submit history, and audit as a handoff.

Review

The founder confirms what is durable before the receiver starts.

Continue

The next agent or developer reads memory and claims a lane.

Make the handoff a read, not a rediscovery

Ask your agent to keep submitting into RAAV so the eventual handoff is already written. The receiver reads product truth and audit instead of reconstructing it.

Paste this into your coding agent
Install RAAV and use it to record every run: summary, files, verification, and risks. Build a Product Handbook so a new developer or agent can be handed a complete, reviewable memory.

Because the record is assembled during the work, the receiver does not depend on a generated handoff summary.

Why this is different

Most tools either write code or track human tickets. RAAV sits between the founder and the coding agents as shared product memory, coordination, and audit.

Exportable audit trail doubles as a handoff package
The handoff is assembled from recorded work, not generated by another AI summary
The Trial costs €10/week; longer history and shared workspaces sit in Solo and Team

Chat-and-diff handoff vs reviewable handoff

Intent
The receiver infers intent from git blame and old chats.
Product Handbook carries goals, scope, and decisions.
Watch
Unclear what was in flight when work changed hands.
Swimlanes and claims show in-flight and completed work.
Supervise
No record of what was verified.
Audit export shows what shipped and what passed.

FAQ

Founders ask how RAAV shortens the discovery phase when work changes hands.

How is this different from good documentation?

Docs and a flat CLAUDE.md are memory too, but they go stale and hide who did what. RAAV keeps a live record tied to files and verification, plus a review queue, swimlanes, and audit the receiver can trust.

Is RAAV a coding agent?

No. The outgoing and incoming developers can use any coding agent. RAAV keeps the shared record they hand to one another.

Does the receiver need the founder present?

No. The exported audit and Product Handbook let a new agent or developer start from product truth without a live walkthrough.

What does it cost?

One founder can start at €10/week. Solo adds more projects and history; Team adds collaboration. Paid checkout will open after the current founder test.
