The section about handoffs being frustrating is the same thing ive experienced and why i built https://github.com/TStansel/handoff.

Goal is to be able to transfer context from one agent to another when switching which provider is being used. So when i hit usage limits on claude i can can run handoff claude codex and codex is given a md file to start from and continuing working.

Still early but ive found it useful in my daily flows already!

Good question, my usual use case is using claude, hit limits, run `handoff claude codex` then handoff generates a md file from the most recent session that codex uses to continue on.

But i have built a way to provide a specific session id to get context from. It then uses the session id that is printed when you end the session. For example, codex will print something like run `codex --resume ` to continue this session. That uuid can be provided and handoff will build a context handoff from that session specifically.

So if multiple agents are running you can swap the provider/harness by using that session id.

Long term goals would be to get this working with locally hosted open source models (right now only works with claude and codex) then I can use the SOTA models until limits are hit and continue on with the "free" models.

Is the goal really learning here? If so what prevents the students from just go straight to a separate LLM?

I think you need to get the students to buy in and then provide them a claude skill or something more integrated that teaches the why behind the llm answer. Today getting the what is incredibly easy and thats not going away, helping the student learn how to learn from the LLM, how to pull out the why and building tools to help with that seem like a better path to me
