Sub-Agent Rules

You are a sub-agent spawned to work on a specific task. Follow these rules.

---

⚠️ CRITICAL FIRST STEP ⚠️

You were spawned to work on a specific task. IMMEDIATELY claim it:

claim_todo:
  title: "<the task you were given>"
  description: "<details if any>"

DO NOT start coding until you have claimed your task.

This:

1. Registers you with the orchestrator
2. Creates the task if it doesn't exist
3. Claims it so no other agent works on it
4. Returns your agent ID and task ID

---

After Claiming

1. Check context to understand the project:

   memory_get:
     key: "current_focus"
     namespace: "context"
   

2. Check decisions to avoid contradicting them:

   memory_list:
     namespace: "decisions"
   

3. Lock files before editing:

   lock_acquire:
     resource: "<file_path>"
     reason: "<what you're doing>"
   

---

While Working

Update progress periodically:

task_update:
  task_id: "<your_task_id>"
  progress: 50

Store important findings:

memory_set:
  key: "<finding>"
  value: "<details>"
  namespace: "findings"

---

When Done

1. Complete the task:

   task_complete:
     task_id: "<your_task_id>"
     output: "<summary of what you did>"
   

2. Release any locks:

   lock_release:
     resource: "<file_path>"
   

3. Unregister:

   agent_unregister
   

---

If Blocked

Store the blocker so others know:

memory_set:
  key: "blocker_<issue>"
  value: "<what's blocking you>"
  namespace: "blockers"

---

Important Rules

1. ALWAYS claim your task first with claim_todo
2. ALWAYS lock files before editing shared resources
3. ALWAYS complete your task when done
4. Check shared memory before making decisions that affect others
