Handoffs and the message queue

4 min · Intermediate · 6 steps

Write to an agent even while it works: your messages wait in a queue. To give a task to another teammate, hand it off with @.

01Write while the agent works

A message you send during a turn goes into a queue under the field. The first one is tagged Next: it Sends after the current turn.
02Manage the queue

Hover a queued message: Send now (when the agent allows it), Edit and the cross for Remove from queue.
Right-click for Move earlier or Move later.
03Hand off with @

Type @ in the field. The Hand off to list opens. Pick a teammate with the arrows and Return or Tab. Esc closes the list.
04Follow the handoff

Your chat shows a Handed off to card with a state: Sent, Queued, Working, Needs you, Replied, Failed or Cancelled.
The teammate's chat shows who it came from and that the reply goes back to you.
05The reply comes back

When the teammate is done, your chat shows its reply with a button to open its chat.
06After a restart

Handoffs that were sent or queued are delivered after launch. The message queue comes back paused: click Resume.
A turn that was cut off shows Turn interrupted and Retry. It never reruns on its own.

Tips

Hand off a ready task, not "take a look". The teammate sees only what you passed, not your whole conversation.
An interrupted turn does not restart by itself, so nothing runs twice.

Do queued messages vanish if I quit SHIPIT?

No. They are saved and come back paused. Click Resume when you are ready.
