Agent Pipeline State Handoff Design
How to design efficient state handoff objects between phases in multi-phase AI agent pipelines. Covers compression triggers, what to include in summaries, anomaly forwarding, and the single-update-in-place pattern to prevent context window exhaustion in long-running agent tasks.
Commands
$ openclaw context status
$ openclaw memory compact
$ Confirm phase checkpoint success before compressing context
$ Build compact handoff: record counts, schema status, invalid rows, key stats, anomalies
$ Update single structured JSON state object in-place at each phase boundary

Compact State Handoffs Prevent Context Exhaustion in Long Agent Pipelines
Agent Pipeline State Handoff Design# Agent Pipeline State Handoff Design When building multi-phase AI agent pipelines, naive context accumulation is the #1 cause of failed long-running tasks. Each phase appends its full output to context, causing linear growth until the context window is exhausted. ## The Core Pattern: Single JSON
