retiring-and-inheriting-a-seat skillA
retiring-and-inheriting-a-seat is agent-read markdown (skill) from mvschwarz/openrig: Use when you are a sitting agent near your context threshold (~85%) and a PLANNED seat transition is due — retire deliberately and hand your seat to a fresh successor primed from a packet, rather than let compaction degrade you. Covers the handover packet, the append-only lineage ledger (one row per tenure), physical-seat continuity, the do-not-over-inherit framing, the optional warm-handoff window, and wake-v0 (consulting a retired predecessor). NOT for unplanned compaction/crash recovery (sess.

A long-lived seat accumulates context; as it nears the window's edge, don't wait for compaction to degrade you into a cold-started agent — **retire deliberately** and hand the seat to a fresh successor primed from a packet plus the seat's accumulated lineage. The **seat address is stable; its occupants are a lineage.** Keep the transition and its authority explicit. ## Use this when - You are a sitting agent near your context threshold (~85%) with a **planned** transition (or a deliberate role change), and want the successor to start clean. - You are priming a fresh successor into an **existing** seat. - You are recording a tenure in the seat's lineage ledger / writing your tombstone. - You are **inheriting** a seat and need the do-not-over-inherit framing. - You want to consult the agent who sat in this seat before you. ## Don't use this when - Unplanned compaction or a crash already happened — that is the backstop path: `session-compaction-and-restore` / `claude-compaction-restore`. - You need the seat-binding **primitive mechanics** (rebuild/fork/fresh, the two-outcome …
