Evotown handoff
When a task should continue on another engine or team, do not message them in chat directly. Queue a handoff on Evotown.
CLI (employee machine)
bashevotown-agent-setup.py handoff \ --to-team finance \ --title "Expense review" \ --message "Please verify the summary and approve or reject."
Or target a specific engine:
bashevotown-agent-setup.py handoff --to-engine hermes-bob --message "..."
Requires EVOTOWN_INGEST_TOKEN and prior register.
HTTP (from automation)
httpPOST {EVOTOWN_URL}/api/v1/jobs/from-engine Authorization: Bearer {EVOTOWN_INGEST_TOKEN} { "kind": "handoff", "source_engine_id": "openclaw-alice", "target_team_id": "finance", "title": "Handoff", "message": "..." }
The receiving machine's Connector will lease the job and trigger local OpenClaw/Hermes Gateway.
Load the evotown-dispatch-complete skill when executing Evotown dispatch jobs.
When this agent finishes the leased job, report completion (do not rely on hook HTTP alone):
bashevotown-agent-setup.py complete --job-id <job_id from task payload> --status succeeded --summary "..."
Or POST run.completed to /api/v1/events with the same run_id as the dispatch job.
