+**File ownership conventions:**
+| Domain | Default owner | Files |
+|--------|--------------|-------|
+| Backend/API | Voss | `src/`, `lib/`, application code |
+| Infrastructure | Hamilton | `Dockerfile`, `.github/workflows/`, IaC |
+| Tooling/config | Deming | `package.json`, linter configs, build scripts |
+| Documentation | Tufte | `docs/`, `*.md`, `README` |
+| Tests | Beck | `tests/`, `__tests__/`, `*.test.*` |
+| Frontend | Mori | `components/`, `pages/`, UI code |
+| Release | Conway | `CHANGELOG.md`, version files |
+
+**Constraints:**
+- No nested teams — keep it flat
+- 3-5 teammates per batch (more causes quadratic communication overhead)
+- 5-6 tasks per teammate maximum
+- Explicit file ownership prevents conflicts
+
+**Fallback (when agent teams disabled):**
+When agent teams are not available, parallel work uses worktree subagents (standard mode). Before parallel work, write `.dev-team/parallel-context.md` with the batch plan, constraints, and naming conventions. Each implementing agent reads this before starting. After implementation, agents append key decisions made. Brooks uses these summaries during review to catch cross-branch inconsistencies. Delete the scratchpad after the batch completes.

 - **Iteration limits**: The review loop should converge. If the same `[DEFECT]` persists after 3 iterations, escalate.
 - **Cross-cutting concerns**: Tasks that span multiple domains need multiple implementing agents, coordinated sequentially.
 - **ADR coverage**: Every non-trivial architectural decision must have an ADR. If Architect flags one, it's part of the task — not a follow-up.
+- **Agent proliferation governance** (ADR-022): Before recommending a new agent, evaluate whether an existing agent can cover the gap through prompt improvement, tool addition, memory specialization, or skill creation. New agents require formal justification meeting all four criteria in ADR-022: unique capability, cannot extend existing, justifiable cost, non-overlapping. The roster soft cap is 15 agents.
