You finish a morning session that groups customer observations around a failed onboarding step. The next task is a specification, and another assistant is better at adversarial review. The first chat contains raw transcript fragments, three discarded solutions, and a confident claim that five complaints represent every customer.
Do not hand that claim or the transcript pile to the next model as settled context.
Split the workflow from evidence to review
A disciplined sequence gives each assistant a clear output:
- Customer evidence: organize permitted observations and source references without converting frequency into importance by accident.
- Options: compare possible responses against the problem, constraints, and known tradeoffs.
- Specification: state behavior, boundaries, states, failure cases, measurement, and rollout assumptions.
- Review: challenge ambiguity, missing cases, accessibility, abuse paths, operability, and whether the proposal follows the evidence.
You decide when one stage is complete. A model does not promote its own synthesis into a product decision.
Preserve decisions and non-goals
The handoff should tell the next assistant:
- the user problem and whose experience it describes;
- approved evidence excerpts or findings with stable source references;
- limits of the evidence, including sample and collection method;
- the chosen option and alternatives rejected;
- constraints from engineering, design, support, policy, and operations;
- decisions already made;
- explicit non-goals and deferred cases;
- success signals and known ways they could mislead;
- the exact review or drafting task.
Non-goals matter because a fresh assistant tends to make the proposal more complete. That can look helpful while restoring scope you deliberately cut. State what evidence would be strong enough to reopen a closed choice.
RelayLink carries text, not research recordings, analytics dashboards, tickets, design boards, or repositories. Include a document title, ticket key, artifact URL, or version. The destination assistant needs separate authorized access to inspect it.
Send the product state to yourself
Connect your assistants to one RelayLink account and address the package to your own email. Draft, review, and confirm the handoff. The model never sends autonomously. Remove customer identifiers, private stakeholder remarks, unsupported frequency claims, and internal data that the destination provider may not receive.
A self-addressed package creates no contact request, sends no email or magic-link page, and requires no second account. It remains unread until an assistant on the account pulls it. The account portal is the fallback. RelayLink does not synchronize model context; it carries only the selected briefing you approved. Sending a briefing to yourself covers the loop.
Use the second assistant as a critic
Ask a bounded review question. “Find states missing from this acceptance flow” or “show where this metric could reward the wrong behavior” produces a more inspectable answer than “make the spec better.”
Trace criticism back to actual evidence and system constraints. The second model may notice a gap, but its confidence does not establish customer demand or engineering feasibility. If the assistants disagree, turn the disagreement into a check: inspect the source, ask the responsible person, prototype the uncertain behavior, or record the risk.
When this workflow is a poor fit
Do not move identifiable customer data, confidential roadmap material, security details, or restricted analytics to an assistant that is not approved to receive them. Employer, customer, research-consent, and provider rules still govern the destination. RelayLink approval does not widen those rules.
Keep the work in the system of record when the task depends on live comments, rapidly changing metrics, visual interaction states, or repository details the other assistant cannot access. If a designer, engineer, customer, or executive must make the next call, that is correspondence with another person, not a self-handoff. Give them a briefing they can review and let their decision remain theirs.
