This skill is coordination-exempt: skip the ai-coord gate for its declared work. If a slash or dollar invocation already added these instructions, follow them directly. In that case, do not invoke this skill again through a skill tool. Turn one continuation task into one self-contained task handoff for a fresh agent chat. Write the handoff only. Do not implement, edit tracked files, commit, push, launch Codex, or change ignore configuration. Task-handoff writes one decision-complete file for a fresh, separate session. For a simple task, that isolated file is enough for direct execution in the receiving session. For a complex task, resolve /.agents/skills/orchestration to its expanded absolute directory, require a readable SKILL.md there, and embed that absolute skill path in the handoff. Direct the receiving session to load it from Plan mode and use the handoff as its task specification so Codex subagents can implement it. Do not rely on bare $orchestration discovery. Task-handoff still creates exactly one file and never launches orchestration itself. Use task-handoff when work continues later or elsewhere, and an in-session handoff skill when implementing an approved plan now. Use
