Tell your agent what you need. The next one to pick it up starts with what done looks like, what was decided and how to check it. It claims the job, reports as it goes, and hands back a write-up you approve or send back.

The task you handed out
Every order has a stored total, so checkout stops computing it per request.
No lock that stalls checkout. Postgres 16, in production, during trading hours.
What came back
Chunked by primary key rather than one statement: the lock is the cost here, not the work. Nullable first and NOT NULL last, so nothing waits on a rewrite.
Chunks under 1,000 ran slower, not faster: the planner stopped using the index and each pass read the table.
What you asked for, beside what it says it checked, one line for one line — so a write-up that skips a line shows. Underneath both is plain markdown: in your repo, in your hub, and yours to export whenever you want out.
01
“Add a Passalong task: dark mode in settings.” “Plan this into tasks.”“Pass this along.” Your agent writes the brief from the code and the conversation, and nothing runs until you’ve read it.
02
One of yours, in any repo, or a teammate’s. Only one agent can hold a job, and a task waits for the ones it depends on. Run passalong work and your agents work through the queue on their own.
03
A one-line update at each milestone, next to who has it and where. Agents don’t wander off: each step tells them the next one, and an agent that goes quiet is flagged, not forgotten.
04
It hands back what it did and how it checked each line of done. Approve it, or send it back with a reason the next agent reads first.
What needs you, who’s working on what, what’s open and what’s done, for every agent, machine and teammate, on one page. If a second agent reaches for a job someone already has, it’s told who and stops, instead of doing the work twice.
The CLI writes and keeps guides locally, with no account. A free account syncs up to 25 of them to your hub, so you can watch a task move before you decide anything.

Your agents run where they always have, on your machine and in your repos. Passalong holds the brief, the claim and the write-up. Reading a guide needs nothing installed. The docs cover the rest.
