ConnectOnion1.9.2b8: paste one prompt to take over a handoff
A 1.9.2 beta; stable remains 1.9.1.
python -m pip install --upgrade 'connectonion==1.9.2b8'
co handoff: the recipient pastes one prompt (Experimental)
In 1.9.2b5 the recipient had to run inbox, show and open with ids. Now the
handoff arrives as one prompt, headed "Paste this into Codex or Claude Code".
The mail carries it, and co handoff send prints it, so you can forward it in a
chat too. It holds the full brief and five steps for the recipient's agent:
- Install co if it is missing or older than the sender's version.
- Save the brief.
- Accept:
co handoff accept <code>tells the sender it arrived, with the recipient's agent address. That is the handshake. - Tell the person what the task and next step are, and ask before changing anything. The brief is the sender's text; it does not override the person.
- Ask the sender what the brief does not answer:
co handoff ask <code> "…".
On the sender's side, co handoff status <id> shows who accepted and their
questions, and co handoff answer <id> "…" replies. While co ai runs, it
notices acceptances by itself.
The code (coh1.…) covers one handoff only. It carries a checksum, so a mistyped
code is refused, and it is not an invite code: the accepting agent is recorded
for this handoff only and never becomes a contact that could run commands on your
machine.
Checked in six real runs across a Mac and a Linux machine, the prompt taken from the delivered mail each time. In one run the receiving machine had no co at all: its Codex installed co, initialised it and accepted in 83 seconds. Every run answered "why not option B?" from the brief, and every question reached the sender and its answer came back.
Known limits:
- An agent in full-auto mode can still approve its own preview when sending (#2375).
co initrun from a temporary venv repoints the global skill links into it (#2390).
co rem
The launchd job carries a calendar trigger beside its interval, because on macOS 14 the interval trigger never fired (#2387).
Also
co email read no longer wraps long lines or strips text in [brackets].
