Living context
Pulses
A Code is a moment; a Pulse is a heartbeat. Pulses are focus areas that stay current — they accumulate state, items, and contributions over time, so a project's context is always live, not a stale paste from last week.

Resume anything
Sessions
Package an entire working session — goals, decisions, state — and resume it later, on another machine, or hand it to the next agent. The "show up ready every time" promise, made literal. Continuity, not re-briefing.

Continuity
Handoffs
A Handoff is a special transfer — a continuity package. The full working state of a session, wrapped to carry forward: hand it to a teammate, the next agent, or future-you. Whoever receives it resumes mid-stride instead of starting cold. This is the heart of Relay: continuity that survives the gap between sessions, people, and tools.

Standing streams
Series
A named, recurring relay — like weekly-sync. Drop context into the series; everyone subscribed receives the latest. One Code that keeps giving, instead of a fresh paste every time.

Trust & control
Provenance
Every relay carries a timeline: who sent it, who received it, every forward, every timestamp. Org visibility controls, claim approvals for cross-user shares, encryption, and retention — context you can audit and govern.

The graph
Connections
Sharing across people and orgs isn't a free-for-all. Cross-user claims go through request → approve → receive, so context lands with the right person, with consent — and durable connections skip the gate next time.

The differentiator
The MCP toolset
Relay isn't a website you visit — it's tooling your agent already has. ~24 MCP tools expose every capability above directly inside Claude or any MCP client. No app-switching, no copy-paste. Context ops where the work happens.
