Wagglet - Hand off AI coding tasks between teammates instantly

Hit your Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor usage limits mid-sprint? Wagglet lets developers instantly hand off exact AI coding tasks to teammates who have available bandwidth. Instead of sharing accounts, API keys, or pasting raw contexts back and forth, Wagglet packages the entire prompt, background context, and acceptance criteria into a single transferable unit.
