name: agent_manager description: Automatically manage agent lifecycle, proposals, and registry.

Purpose

Maintain an auto-managed registry of agents and keep their scopes current.

Steps

1. Discover all AGENTS.md and AGENTS.override.md files.
2. Update .agent-docs/memory/AGENTS_REGISTRY.md and .agent-docs/memory/AGENTS_REGISTRY.json.
3. Compare coverage with .agent-docs/memory/INDEX.md and architecture maps.
4. Propose missing agents in .agent-docs/memory/AGENT_PROPOSALS.md.
5. Explain each proposal objective and ask for approval before scaffolding.
6. Detect drift by comparing scope file timestamps to agent instructions.
7. Mark needs_update, stale, or retire_candidate in the registry.
8. For approved proposals, scaffold new agent instructions from .agent-docs/agents/AGENT_TEMPLATE.md.
9. Record actions in the Action Log.
10. Use the agent management checklist for completeness.

Guardrails

• Use the merge protocol for updates.
• Do not modify fixed agents; only propose changes.
