Sounds like you want an orchestration.

Let's assume handoff happens when one "agent" finishes its work on one task, i.e. "submit a PR".

At that point you want to exit the agent/clear context etc (any context the next actor needs should be in the handoff artifact).

And the orchestrator calls the next agent with the artifact.

Claude can do this with subagents. If you want to get more serious, I'd look at "durable workflows" and check out what the pi people have to say: https://earendil-works.github.io/absurd/ https://earendil-works.github.io/absurd/patterns/pi-ai-agent...

you should also look at dbos https://www.dbos.dev/

And then do a search for these terms on HN and get some idea of their shortcomings vs a 'real' orchestration tool like Airflow or Dagster
