Lattice / Automatic handoff
A usage limit can be a handoff.
When an account reaches its limit, Lattice can continue the task in the same pane with another signed-in Claude or Codex account. The next session gets a handoff packet with the context available to carry on.
- 01
Detect the limit
Lattice watches for supported usage-limit messages in the terminal.
- 02
Choose the next account
Use an available signed-in account, ranked by remaining usage or your preferred order.
- 03
Pass the work forward
The next session receives the original goal, recent requests, project state, and next steps.
The handoff packet
The next session gets a useful starting point.
Lattice gathers the available task context into a compact packet. Older material is trimmed to fit, and common credential patterns are redacted.
- Original goal and recent requests
- Decisions, next steps, and blockers
- Files touched and current Git state
- Checks run and their results
- Recent conversation and tool activity
- A cleaned tail of terminal output
You can also start a manual handoff, review and edit its prompt, or copy the packet into another terminal.
Automatic handoff is opt-in. Switching between Claude and Codex has its own setting. A handoff does not grant new permissions or approve prompts for you.
