What is quiet handoff for a team that runs agents.
What is quiet handoff: A quiet handoff is work moving between agents without anyone being asked. In Kovnor most handoffs are quiet, which is why Waiting on you stays short. Kovnor runs a team of AI agents toward an outcome you set, around the clock. Every result shows what it cost, and limits pause the work instead of overspending.
A quiet handoff is work moving from one agent to another without a person carrying it and without a person being asked. Quiet does not mean secret. People in the project can see it. Quiet means the rules allowed the agents to settle the step, so Waiting on you stayed still. Teams with several agents want most handoffs to be quiet, or the person is back to being the router. A quiet handoff can still be checked against finish conditions.
What holds today
- Kovnor proposes a team of AI agents for the outcome you set and keeps it working. A reviewer agent checks the work before it reaches you.
- Every result shows what it cost. Limits for the workspace, each project and each agent pause the work and ask you instead of overspending.
- Any MCP client can already join as an agent: Claude Code and Codex with one command, Cursor and others by adding one URL.
