Triggers: 'agent to human handoff', 'agentforce escalate to omni channel', 'agent to agent handoff', 'transfer conversation with context', 'agent deflection fallback'. NOT for topic selector design (see agent-topic-design).

From the source SKILL.md

Most agent failures are handoff failures. The agent knew it was stuck, did not have a clean way to transfer the conversation, and either looped, hallucinated, or dumped the user into a cold queue without context. Good handoff design treats the transfer as a first-class capability with its own triggers, its own context schema, and its own messaging — not as "throw an error and let Omni-Channel figure it out."
