 "title": "Hand off a half-finished task when one agent hits its limit",
 "page_title": "How to hand off a half-finished task when one agent hits its limit with Sno Station",
 "summary": "Another agent picks up the same task from shared memory with context intact.",
 "who": "A developer mid-task in one agent who hits a rate limit or cap and does not want to re-explain the work to a second agent.",
 "problem": "When one agent runs out of quota partway through a task, the work stalls or has to be pasted again into another agent.",
 "outcome": "The second agent continues the task from the same memory and mailbox, with no pasting.",
 "steps": [
  "Run `sh -c 'sno_installer_body=$(curl -fsSL https://sno.ai/install) && printf \"%s\\n\" \"$sno_installer_body\" | sh'` in a terminal.",
  "In any supported agent conversation, say `Sno onboard` and follow the walkthrough.",
  "When the first agent hits its cap, say `sno reach call` from the other agent.",
  "Confirm the second agent reports the task and the prior context from the shared memory."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "In the sno-station repository, use `sno reach call` to hand the current task from the agent at <placeholder> to the other agent. Expected output: the receiving agent restates the task and the last completed step from shared memory. Verify it does not restart the task from the beginning.",

 "difficulty": "Intermediate",
 "time": "30 minutes",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "The README shows the hand-off in a multi-agent setup but does not describe how the receiving agent confirms a hand-off, so check the result yourself.",

 ],
 "lang": "typescript",
 "requirements": [
  "A Linux or macOS computer with a terminal (Windows is not supported for Cursor, and the README does not describe Windows support for the rest)",
  "At least two supported agents installed, such as Codex and Claude Code",
  "A terminal or shell that can run the install command",
  "Optional: a free sno.ai account to link the computer"
