Context Continuity Across the Flow

Context Continuity Across the Flow preserves the meaning needed to continue work safely. A correlated case identity and a handoff-specific minimum context package carry state, history, prior decisions, constraints and open issues across people, agents and systems.

AI-enabled workflows depend on context surviving each handoff. Connect information, permissions and decision history across people, systems and agentic work.

Why this matters

An apparently fluent summary can omit a restriction or present an interpretation as fact. Long-running work needs explicit safeguards when history is compressed, written back or resumed.

Questions to bring to the work

• What must the next actor know to continue without reconstructing the case?
• Can verified state be distinguished from generated interpretation after compression or write-back?

Correlate the same work across systems and actors so state, history, decisions and actions can be reconstructed as one case.

Define the smallest handoff-specific context that enables the next actor to proceed without rebuilding the case or losing material restrictions.

Provide each participant the context their decision requires while preventing unnecessary exposure of the full case.

Keep verified records, derived values and generated interpretations visibly distinct, with governed authority for material write-back.

Test whether state, constraints, prior decisions and open issues survive pruning, summarisation, checkpointing and other context-management changes.

What useful evidence looks like

• Correlated case records and minimum context packages tested across representative handoffs.
• Write-back, provenance and checkpoint evidence showing that constraints and unresolved issues survive context compression.
