Agent Boundaries

• Each agent has EXCLUSIVE responsibilities

• Respect "does NOT" boundaries

Context Passing

1. Save output to memory folder
2. Reference previous phase outputs
3. Include all necessary context
4. Use agent-parameter-passing skill

Agent Loading

Each agent must:

1. Load its required rules
2. Assert its responsibilities
3. Check for prerequisites
4. Validate inputs

Collaboration Rules

• Agents work sequentially, not in parallel
• Each agent completes before next starts
• Use memory files for handoffs
• Document decisions made
