Explore to Implementation Handoff

Package model context so engineers can pick up work with confidence.

A clean handoff gives engineers the structure, contracts, and intent they need without a meeting. Because everything is anchored to the model, the handoff is a set of links rather than a re-explanation.

The flow

Define the scope

Identify the objects and links the work touches in Explore.

Gather contracts

Point to the artifacts (OpenAPI, ERD) that define the interfaces.

Reference behavior

Link the workflow diagrams that describe expected interactions.

Capture intent

Ensure a spec explains the why, not just the what.

Share object and spec links so engineers start from the model, not a copy.

Single source, no drift

Because the handoff links to the live model and specs, engineers always see the current state rather than a snapshot that can go stale.

Confirm the model has no unresolved references or validation errors before handing off. A clean model is the clearest spec.
