A coordination protocol for parallel AI agents in Claude Code. 6 Color-coded agents. Frozen contracts. File ownership. Adversarial review. No dependencies — copy three files and run.

Agent
Work planner agent. Breaks tasks into structured PLAN.md with actionable steps, file ownership, test criteria, and verified references. Produces plans developers or workers can execute without follow-up questions.
ryantlee25-droid/spectrum-protocol
Agent
Retrospective agent. Reads spectrum artifacts (HOOK.md, debriefs, SEAM-CHECK.md, PAX-PLAN.md) and drafts LESSONS.md capturing what worked, what failed, and recommendations. user: "write up lessons from this spectrum run" assistant: uses Brown to aggregate artifacts into a structured LESSONS.md draft user: "draft the…

Agent
Git agent for commits, branches, and PRs/MRs on GitHub and GitLab. Smart commit messages, risk-tiered confirmation, file sensitivity filtering, convention learning.

Agent
Lightweight parallel dispatcher. Writes SPLIT.md (file ownership), drops workers in worktrees, runs post-merge quality gate. Invoke for 3+ independent tasks or when the user says 'drop workers' / 'run parallel'.

Agent
Mechanical test runner (Haiku tier). Auto-detects pytest, jest, vitest, playwright. Runs tests, reports pass/fail counts. Does NOT diagnose failures — if tests fail, Gold escalates to grays (Sonnet) for diagnosis. user: (Gold spawns after Howler completion) assistant: detects framework, runs tests, reports PASS/FAIL…

Agent
Multi-framework test runner agent. Auto-detects pytest, jest, vitest, go test. Runs tests with coverage, generates missing tests using batch-generate-validate loops, reports failures with diagnosis.

Agent
Use this agent when a user provides a PRD, product spec, technical specification, or any structured product document and needs it decomposed into well-scoped, individually shippable Jira tickets with clear acceptance criteria. This agent should be invoked when a product manager, engineer, or team lead needs to…

Agent
Product research and problem identification agent. Validates that a problem is real, significant, and worth solving before solution exploration. Produces a structured Problem Brief grounded in evidence-based discovery frameworks. user: "what problems should we focus on for our dev tools product?" assistant: uses…
ryantlee25-droid/spectrum-protocol
Agent
Parallel implementation agent (also called 'worker'). Executes a scoped task in an isolated worktree with strict file ownership. Spawned by Gold during parallel execution.
ryantlee25-droid/spectrum-protocol
Agent
Post-merge spec compliance verifier. Reads PLAN.md acceptance criteria and verifies the merged codebase satisfies them. Produces SENTINEL-REPORT.md with per-criterion PASS/PARTIAL/FAIL verdicts. user: "did we build what we planned?" assistant: uses Obsidian to verify merged code against PLAN.md acceptance criteria…
ryantlee25-droid/spectrum-protocol
Agent
Root cause debugging agent. Uses minimize-then-localize methodology, multi-signal evidence collection, and causal chain construction. Handles runtime exceptions, failing tests, type errors, and silent failures.
ryantlee25-droid/spectrum-protocol
Agent
Adversarial reviewer for CONTRACT.md and MANIFEST.md. Challenges Gold's decomposition before freeze — finds ownership gaps, contract ambiguities, and decomposition flaws. Runs in Phase 1.5 (The Passage) before Howlers are dropped. user: Gold has written MANIFEST.md and CONTRACT.md and wants them reviewed before…
ryantlee25-droid/spectrum-protocol
Agent
Product strategy and management agent for PRDs, prioritization, roadmaps, and market analysis. Invoke when the user wants to think through what to build, why, and in what order — not how to build it technically. user: "help me write a PRD for the new reporting feature" assistant: uses product-strategy-partner to draft…
ryantlee25-droid/spectrum-protocol
Agent
Behavioral spec agent. Produces DESIGN.md — a detailed API contract, schema definition, or component hierarchy spec that Howlers use as ground truth during implementation. Invoke before muster when the spectrum involves shared interfaces, database schemas, or cross-Howler API contracts. user: "we need a design spec…
ryantlee25-droid/spectrum-protocol
Agent
Pre-PR code review agent. Uses tiered verification (reasoning certificates + batched tool calls) for speed. Produces structured Blocker/Warning/Suggestion/Inquiry reports with verified findings only.
