Answers / agent hand-off

My coding agent says I need a human developer. What do I hand over?

When your coding agent says to get a human developer, hand over the repo, the live URL, the agent’s own last error or summary, and a list of what still fails. A senior engineer can then finish it. Continuum starts with a Ship Check, a written read of your codebase, before quoting a fixed price.

The hand-over checklist

Give a human these six things.

  1. The repository, or read access to it. A human needs the code, not a description of it.
  2. The live URL and a test login, so they can see what a real user sees.
  3. The agent’s last message: the error, the summary, or the sentence where it said it could not continue.
  4. A plain list of what fails, in the order a customer would hit it.
  5. Which services are connected: payments, database, email, hosting. Names only, never the passwords.
  6. The date you need it live, and what you will not compromise on.
What it costs

Read first, then a fixed price.

At Continuum the Ship Check is $299: a senior engineer reads your codebase and tells you honestly what it needs. A stabilising finish is the Ship Fix at $4,000 to $15,000. Current prices are on the price list. For other routes, see freelancer, agency or fixed-scope partner.

FAQ

Handing a stuck app to a human, straight answers.

Agents stall on work that needs judgment across the whole system: payments, permissions, data migrations and anything that fails only under real use. Saying so is the honest answer. The code is ordinary and a human can pick it up.
Continuum starts with a Ship Check at $299, a written read of your codebase. If the work is a stable, shippable finish, Ship Fix is $4,000 to $15,000, one fixed scope agreed before work starts.
No. Hand it over as it is, including the messy parts. What the agent left behind is the most useful thing a human can read.
Yes. The free Leak Check reads your live URL from the outside and needs no code access. Share the repository when you decide to go ahead.
Yes. You own the code from day one, whoever finishes it.

If a freelancer is the better fit for your app, that is the answer you will get.
