Pull request overview
This PR documents and standardizes an organization-wide “agent memory” / handoff protocol using GitHub-native artifacts (issues/PRs/templates/labels) in the org .github repository.
Changes:
- Adds a new
.github/AGENT_MEMORY.mdprotocol document and links it from the org.githubREADME. - Introduces an org-default PR template section for agent handoffs and a dedicated “Agent handoff” issue form.
- Adds a canonical
agent-memory 🧠label to the shared label set.
