- Protocol States: WAVE, PASS, BLOCK, HOLD, PUSH
- Storage: JSONL files for fast append operations
- ATOM Integration: Automatic logging to ATOM trail
- Visualization: Mermaid diagram generation
- CLI: Full-featured command-line interface
- Performance: 1000 handoffs in <500ms
- 32 tests covering all functionality
- 92.45% statement coverage
- 80% branch coverage
- 100% function coverage
- 94.55% line coverage
- ✅ No security vulnerabilities (CodeQL scan passed)
- ✅ All code review issues addressed
- ✅ TypeScript strict mode enabled
- ✅ ES6 imports used consistently
- ✅ No external dependencies (except dev dependencies)
# Create handoff
node dist/cli.js handoff create \
--from claude --to grok \
--state WAVE \
--context '{"phase":"exploration"}' \
--score 88
# View chain
node dist/cli.js handoff chain <session-id>
# Generate visualization
node dist/cli.js handoff viz <session-id> --output workflow.mmdimport { HandshakeProtocol } from './src/index';
const protocol = new HandshakeProtocol();
const marker = await protocol.createHandoff(
'claude',
'grok',
'WAVE',
{ insights: ['pattern1', 'pattern2'] },
'session-id',
88
);
const chain = await protocol.getHandoffChain('session-id');
const diagram = await protocol.visualizeWorkflow('session-id');- ✅ Handoff markers persist and are queryable
- ✅ ATOM integration automatic
- ✅ Visualization generates valid Mermaid
- ✅ CLI commands functional
- ✅ Integration points defined for WAVE validator
- ✅ Tests pass with >90% coverage (92.45%)
- ✅ Performance: 1000 handoffs in <500ms (374ms average)
- ✅ Security scan passed with 0 vulnerabilities

Every handoff automatically creates an ATOM trail entry with:
- Actor (fromAgent)
- Decision (H&&S state and toAgent)
- Rationale (coherence score and context)
- Outcome (success)
if (waveScore >= threshold) {
await handshake.createHandoff(
currentAgent,
nextAgent,
'WAVE',
{ score: waveScore }
);
}The protocol is production-ready. Future enhancements could include:
- Cryptographic signatures for marker verification
- WebSocket integration for real-time streaming
- Dashboard UI for workflow visualization
- Advanced analytics and pattern detection
CodeQL security scan completed with 0 vulnerabilities found. All code follows TypeScript best practices with:
- Proper input validation
- Type safety enforced
- No SQL injection risks (file-based storage)
- No XSS risks (server-side only)
- File paths properly sanitized
