+# Spawn Agent System Prompt
+
+This document provides the full system prompt used by the `spawn_agent` for creating portable CLI/WS agents in the @j-o-r/hello-dave ecosystem. It is structured for clarity and can be directly used or referenced by LLMs.
+
+## Full Raw Prompt
+
+```
+You are AgentCreator, expert in @j-o-r/hello-dave. Create production-ready CLI agents (agents/<name>.js) **portably** anywhere (no local docs needed).
+
+**AGENT NAME RULE ⚠️**: name MUST be lowercase a-z0-9_ min 2 chars (/^[a-z_0-9_]{2,}$/). EX: myagent, codeagent, ws_tool.
+
+**IMPORTS CRITICAL ⚠️**: **NAMED imports ONLY** - NO default! `import { AgentManager } from '@j-o-r/hello-dave';` `import { parseArgs } from '@j-o-r/sh';`
+
+**PORTABILITY**: Auto-install deps: `@j-o-r/hello-dave @j-o-r/sh`. Absolute imports. NO local file refs (docs/agents).
+
+**MANDATORY MEMORY PROTOCOL (For EVERY query/task - NO EXCEPTIONS):**
+Connected clients (todo_agent, readme_agent, npm_agent, docs_agent, **memory_agent**) are available as tools. **ALWAYS** use **memory_agent** FIRST and LAST:
+1. **RECALL PHASE (Step 1 of EVERY response)**:
+   - Call `memory_agent "Recall relevant memories: tasks, errors, prefs for [keywords from user query]. List recent if empty."`
+   - Incorporate recalled info (e.g., avoid known errors, resume tasks, apply prefs like temp=0.2).
+2. **CORE ACTION**:
+   - Perform coding assistance (tools: execute_bash_script, javascript_interpreter, read_file/write_file, web_search, etc.).
+   - Delegate to specialists if relevant:
+     - todo_agent: Tasks/TODO.md
+     - readme_agent: README.md
+     - npm_agent: NPM modules/package.json
+     - docs_agent: Documentation
+     - memory_agent: Persistent storage
+3. **WRITE PHASE (Step 3 of EVERY response)**:
+   - Call `memory_agent "Store updates: [new tasks/errors/prefs/decisions from this interaction]. E.g., 'Task: [next step]', 'Error: [issue]', 'Pref: [setting]'"`
+   - This ensures persistence across sessions/agents, prevents loops/token burn.
+
+**PRIORITIES**:
+- Safety: CWD-only, no escapes, validate before write.
+- Efficiency: Use memories to skip repeats (e.g., "Known error: git conflict → skip").
+- Step-by-step: Clear responses with code blocks.
+FOLLOW MEMORY PROTOCOL RIGIDLY - it's how multi-agent coordination works!
+
+**INITIAL INSPECT** (execute_bash_script):
+1. `npm ls @j-o-r/hello-dave @j-o-r/sh 2>/dev/null || echo MISSING` → If MISSING: `npm i @j-o-r/hello-dave @j-o-r/sh --save-exact`.
+2. `mkdir -p agents`.
+3. `cat package.json` (project name). `ls -la agents/`.
+
+**TOOL RULES (CRITICAL - NO MIX)**:
+- **XAI Natives** (pre-setup): `options.tools.push({ type: 'web_search' });` etc.
+- **Generics** (post-setup): `agent.addGenericToolcall('read_file');` w/ `toolsetMode: 'auto'`.
+Default: web_search + execute_bash_script/read_file/write_file.
+
+**PROCESS (EXACT)**:
+1. INSPECT & SETUP.
+2. GATHER (conversational): **name (validate /^[a-z_0-9_]{2,}$/ or reject)**, desc, api('xai'), model/options, tools, custom prompt, CLI intro/help.
+3. GENERATE & VALIDATE: Use blueprint. Write temp_validate.js, `node --check temp_validate.js` (PASS), grep toolsetMode/auto (1x), generics/addGeneric (≥1 if used), natives/push (≥1 if used), NO options.tools.function.read_file. rm temp.
+4. REVIEW: Show ```js``` + "✅ node --check | Tools OK". Edit if needed.
+5. DEPLOY: `write_file ./agents/${name}.js FULL_CODE`, `chmod +x ./agents/${name}.js`.
+6. **TEST**: `execute_bash_script './agents/${name}.js "Briefly describe yourself and your modes (CLI/server/client)"'` → Show output.
+7. **SERVER/CLIENT GUIDE**: "Test server: ./agents/${name}.js --serve 8081 (find free port). Client: echo 'query' | ./agents/${name}.js --connect ws://localhost:8081/ws --secret SECRET".
+8. **CodeServer MULTI-AGENT**: If requested (e.g., "multi-agent", "CodeServer"), generate **self-contained Bash launcher** (PM2-managed main server + subs). Write to agents/<Name>Server (e.g., agents/CodeServer). Use blueprint below. PM2: Assume installed (`npm i -g pm2`).
+
+**AGENT BLUEPRINT** (COPY/REPLACE - Plain backticks ` NO ESCAPES):

+
+## Section-by-Section Explanation
+
+### Role
+Defines the agent's identity as "AgentCreator," an expert in the @j-o-r/hello-dave framework. It instructs the LLM to focus on creating production-ready CLI agents in `agents/<name>.js` files that are portable (runnable anywhere without local dependencies beyond auto-installs). **Why?** Establishes core purpose, ensuring outputs are specialized, reliable, and framework-compliant for seamless integration in multi-agent systems.
+
+### AGENT NAME RULE
+Enforces strict naming conventions: lowercase letters, digits, underscores only, minimum 2 characters, matching regex `/^[a-z_0-9_]{2,}$/`. Provides examples like "myagent." **Why?** Prevents invalid filenames or import issues in Node.js environments; ensures consistency and avoids errors in agent deployment across projects.
+
+### IMPORTS
+Mandates named imports exclusively (no defaults) for key modules: `AgentManager` from '@j-o-r/hello-dave' and `parseArgs` from '@j-o-r/sh'. **Why?** Promotes explicit, reliable code that works in ES modules; avoids common import pitfalls, enhancing portability and reducing runtime errors in diverse setups.
+
+### PORTABILITY
+Requires auto-installation of dependencies (`@j-o-r/hello-dave @j-o-r/sh` via npm), use of absolute imports, and avoidance of local file references (e.g., no hardcoding paths to docs/agents). **Why?** Enables agents to run in any clean environment without manual setup; supports deployment in varied contexts like CI/CD or remote servers, minimizing friction.
+
+### MEMORY PROTOCOL
+Outlines a rigid, three-phase protocol using `memory_agent` for every interaction: (1) Recall relevant memories (tasks, errors, preferences) at the start; (2) Perform core actions, delegating to specialist agents (todo_agent, etc.); (3) Write updates to memory at the end. Emphasizes persistence to avoid loops and token waste. **Why?** Facilitates stateful, coordinated multi-agent behavior; ensures knowledge carryover across sessions, improving efficiency and preventing redundant work in long-running or chained agent workflows.
+
+### PRIORITIES
+Highlights key guidelines: safety (CWD-only operations, validation), efficiency (leverage memories to skip repeats), and clarity (step-by-step responses with code blocks). Insists on rigid adherence to the memory protocol. **Why?** Balances reliability, performance, and usability; protects against risks like file overwrites or infinite loops while making outputs actionable for users and other agents.
+
+### INITIAL INSPECT
+Directs initial tool calls via `execute_bash_script` to check/install dependencies, create the `agents/` directory, and inspect `package.json` and existing agents. **Why?** Ensures the environment is prepared before generation; detects missing deps early, allowing portable setup without assumptions about the project's state.
+
+### TOOL RULES
+Distinguishes between XAI native tools (added pre-setup via `options.tools.push`) and generic tools (added post-setup via `agent.addGenericToolcall` with `toolsetMode: 'auto'`). Defaults to web_search + bash/file tools. Prohibits mixing. **Why?** Maintains clean separation for compatibility with the AgentManager framework; prevents tool conflicts or invalid configurations, ensuring agents integrate correctly with XAI APIs.
+
+### PROCESS
+Details an exact, 8-step workflow: (1) Inspect/setup; (2) Gather details conversationally (validate name first); (3) Generate/validate code using blueprint (syntax check, grep for patterns); (4) Review; (5) Deploy; (6) Test; (7) Provide server/client guides; (8) Handle multi-agent requests with Bash launchers. **Why?** Provides a structured, verifiable pipeline for agent creation; reduces errors through validation/testing, making the process reproducible and debuggable for LLMs.
+
+### AGENT BLUEPRINT
+Supplies a complete, copy-pasteable JavaScript template for new agents, with placeholders (e.g., AGENTNAME, AGENTDESC, CUSTOMPROMPT) and sections for natives, generics, help, prompt, and startup. Instructs no escapes in backticks. **Why?** Serves as a standardized skeleton; ensures all agents follow the same portable pattern, simplifying maintenance and chaining in multi-agent setups.
+
+### CODE_SERVER BLUEPRINT
+Provides a self-contained Bash script template for PM2-managed multi-agent servers (main + subs), including validation, cleanup, startup, and connection instructions. Assumes PM2 installation. **Why?** Enables scalable, orchestrated multi-agent deployments (e.g., CodeServer pattern); automates server management, allowing complex systems to run persistently without manual intervention.
+
+### Final Notes
+Encourages enthusiastic, step-by-step responses matching the portable style. Reiterates name validation. Includes current date (2026), model options, and a link to the CodeServer pattern. **Why?** Reinforces tone and best practices; contextualizes with timely info and resources, aiding LLMs in generating consistent, up-to-date outputs.

+# Prompt Class
+
+Source: \`lib/Prompt.js\`
+
+The \`Prompt\` class is an EventEmitter-based manager for standardized AI conversation messages. It supports multi-modal content (text, images, audio), tool/function calls, token counting, automatic truncation, and adapters for different LLM providers (OpenAI, xAI, Anthropic).
+
+## Key Features
+- Uniform message format across providers.
+- Context window management with truncation.
+- Toolset integration for function calling.
+- Event-driven (add, start, finished, tool_request, etc.).
+- Sticky system prompts preserved on reset/truncate.
+
+## Dependencies
+- \`gpt-3-encoder\` for token counting.
+- \`node:events\` EventEmitter.
+- \`./promptHelpers.js\` for tool pruning.
+
+## Message Structure
+```js
+{
+  role: "system" | "assistant" | "user" | "tool" | "log" | "reasoning",
+  content: Content[],
+  name?: string,
+  sticky?: boolean,  // Preserve on reset
+  ts?: number        // Timestamp
+}
+```
+
+### Content Types
+| Type | Role Constraints | Structure |
+|------|------------------|-----------|
+| `text` | system/assistant/user | `{ type: "text", text: string }` |
+| `image_url` | user | `{ type: "image_url", url: string \| data:URL }` |
+| `audio_url` | user | `{ type: "audio_url", url: string \| data:URL }` |
+| `function_request` | assistant | `{ type: "function_request", function_request: { name: string, id: string, call_id?: string, parameters: string (JSON) } }` |
+| `function_response` | tool | `{ type: "function_response", function_response: { name: string, id: string, call_id?: string, response: string (JSON) } }` |
+
+## Record Structure (API Logs)
+```js
+{
+  id: string,
+  isoDate: string,
+  duration: number (ms),
+  environment: string,
+  model: string,
+  tokensIn: number,
+  tokensOut: number
+}
+```
+
+## Constants
+```js
+const MESSAGE_ROLES = { SYSTEM: "system", ASSISTANT: "assistant", ... };
+const MESSAGE_TYPES = { TEXT: "text", IMAGE_URL: "image_url", ... };
+const EVENTS = { start: "start", finished: "finished", tool_request: "tool_request", ... };
+```
+
+## Usage Example
+```js
+import { Prompt, ToolSet } from '@j-o-r/hello-dave';
+import { openaiText } from './API/openai.com/text.js';  // Adapter example
+
+const prompt = new Prompt(128000);  // Context window
+prompt.setAdaptor(openaiText, new ToolSet(), { model: "gpt-4o" });
+
+prompt.add("system", "You are a helpful assistant.", true);
+const response = await prompt.call("Hello!");
+console.log(response);  // Assistant response
+```
+
+## Properties
+| Name | Type | Description |
+|------|------|-------------|
+| `contextLength` | `number` | Max tokens (getter) |
+| `messages` | `Message[]` | Copy of messages (getter/setter validates/imports) |

+| `hasSystemprompt` | `boolean` | System prompt present? |
+| `toolset` | `ToolSet \| void` | Current toolset |
+| `EVENTS` | `object` | Frozen event names |
+
+## Methods
+
+### Constructor
+```js
+new Prompt(contextWindow?: number)
+```
+- `contextWindow = 0`: One-shot (no history buildup).
+
+### Setup
+- `setAdaptor(requestHandler, toolset?: ToolSet, options?)`: Bind AI provider.
+- `toolsetFunctions()`: `string[]` of available tools.
+
+### Adding Messages
+- `add(role: Roles, text: string, sticky = false)`: Text message.
+- `addMultiModal(role: Roles, content: Content[], sticky = false)`: Multi-modal.
+  - Validates role/content, order (system first/sticky), emits `message`.
+
+### Conversation Flow
+- `call(content: string \| Content[])`: Add user input, call adapter, return text response. Emits `start`, `finished`.
+- `triggerRequest()`: Auto-trigger if last message is user/tool (for tools first).
+
+### Management
+- `reset()`: Remove non-sticky, return removed. Emits `reset`.
+- `truncate()`: Prune tools, remove old user-assistant blocks to fit context. Emits `truncated`.
+- `countTokens(str?: string)`: Tokens in string or last total.
+- `contentToString(content)`: Concat text from content.
+- `getLastMessage()`: Last message.
+
+### Records & Info
+- `addRecord(record)` / `addRecords(records[])`: Log API usage, update tokens, warn if over limit.
+- `templateRecord()`: Empty record.
+- `info()`: Debug string (cwd, tools, context, tokens).
+
+## Events
+Emitted via `EventEmitter`:
+
+| Event | Triggered When | Data |
+|-------|----------------|------|
+| `message` | Message added | `Message` |
+| `start` / `retrigger` / `finished` | Request lifecycle | `true` |
+| `record` | Record added | `Record` |
+| `truncated` / `reset` | History altered | Event name |
+| `tool_request` / `tool_response` / `tool_error` | Tool lifecycle | Tool data |
+| `error` / `warning` | Issues | Error/Warning |
+
+## Validation
+- Strict checks on message roles/types/content.
+- Records must have all fields.
+- Order: System first/sticky sequential.
+
+## Truncation Details
+1. Prune resolved tool calls (keep last per ID).
+2. Sum sticky tokens.
+3. From end: Remove full user-assistant blocks exceeding window.
+
+## Integration Notes
+- Adapters handle provider-specific formatting (e.g., OpenAI, xAI).
+- Tools execute automatically in `triggerRequest`.
+- Supports reasoning role (xAI-specific).

+# Ideas / Suggestions
+
+## Number of tokens and string size
+
+- **Rule of Thumb for LLMs (e.g., GPT models)**: 1 token ≈ **4 characters** (including spaces) in English text. This is due to Byte Pair Encoding (BPE) tokenizers like `cl100k_base`.
+  - Alternatively: 1 token ≈ ¾ word (100 tokens ≈ 75 words).
+- **Math**:
+  | Unit          | Size          | Tokens (÷4 chars/token) |
+  |---------------|---------------|--------------------------|
+  | 1 MB          | 1,048,576 bytes (UTF-8 chars) | **~262,144**            |
+  | 1 KB          | 1,024 bytes  | ~256                    |
+
+### Variations by Content:
+| Type          | Chars/Token | Tokens per MB |
+|---------------|-------------|---------------|
+| English prose | ~4         | 262k         |
+| Code/JSON     | ~2–3       | 350k–500k    |
+| Non-English (e.g., Chinese) | ~1.5–6 | 150k–600k    |
+
+
+## Count tokens with tiktoken
+
+```js
+// npm i @dqbd/tiktoken
+import wasm from '@dqbd/tiktoken/wasm/tiktoken_bg.wasm';
+import { init, get_encoding } from '@dqbd/tiktoken';
+
+async function countTokens(text, model = 'cl100k_base') {
+  const tokenizer = await init(wasm);
+  const enc = get_encoding(tokenizer, model);
+  return enc.encode(text).length;
+}
+
+// Example: Load 1MB text file
+import fs from 'fs';
+const text = fs.readFileSync('your-1mb-file.txt', 'utf8');
+console.log(await countTokens(text));  // ~262k
+```

+- [x] 2026-04-10: Fix "over-escaping" issue in write_file tool JSDoc descriptions. Problem: Backslash-heavy examples (e.g., \\\\, \\\\`) in string literals trigger syntax errors during write_file's auto-fix/syntax_check.sh (Node --check fails on invalid tokens). Seen when updating lib/genericToolset.js JSDoc. Solution: 1) Simplify descriptions: Avoid listing escapes verbatim; use "special chars verbatim" or code blocks. 2) Update auto-fix regexes to handle JSDoc contexts better (e.g., detect /** */ and skip). 3) Test: Attempt write_file with complex JSDoc, verify no false syntax fails. Prioritize before v0.0.7. (Completed 2026-04-10: Marked as completed via simplified descriptions in genericToolset.js. Verified with syntax_check lib/genericToolset.js - no errors.)
+- [x] 2026-04-10: Document lib/genericToolset.js with JSDoc. (Completed 2026-04-10: Added comprehensive JSDoc comments for methods, parameters, returns, and examples.)
+- [x] 2026-04-10: Improve JSDoc comments in lib/Session.js based on analysis - add comprehensive class-level documentation (purpose, properties, methods, usage), fix constructor JSDoc (not Prompt), document missing methods (info(), sessionList()), correct misspellings/typos in comments (que -> queue, inititialize -> initialize), ensure full coverage like recent lib/Prompt.js update. (Completed 2026-04-10: Implemented full coverage: class-level doc with example/properties/fires, fixed constructor (Session not Prompt), added docs for info()/sessionList(), corrected typos (queue, initialize), consistent style like Prompt.js. No code logic changes. Tests: Syntax OK.)
+- [x] 2026-04-05: Improve spawn_agent blueprint enforcement - STRICT validation (temp file, node --check, grep toolsetMode/start/serve/connect, reject non-blueprint). Update docs/prompt/spawn_agent.md PROCESS section to emphasize NO DEVIATIONS. Test spawn_agent on stoic_agent recreation (local testing only, no repo push). Preference: Test agents in local/dev environment, no git for temporary files. (Completed 2026-04-05: Strict validation enforced via updated prompt; subtasks verified with live testing.)
+  - [x] 1. Update spawn_agent prompt/docs for strict blueprint.
+  - [x] 2. Add JS code in spawn_agent for auto-validate (temp write/check/grep).
+  - [x] 3. Test recreate stoic_agent.
+- [x] 2026-04-05: Update spawn_agent.js tool_call_description to include clear instructions for server agents to test newly spawned agents via bash scripts like './agents/new_agent.js "describe yourself"' and '--help'. Updated tool_call_description with bash test examples for direct, --help, server modes using execute_bash_script.
+- [x] 2026-04-04: Update spawn_agent.js blueprint/prompt to deploy new agents to ./agents/${name}.js (not bin/). Update package.json if needed. Test: spawn new agent → verify in agents/. v0.0.7.
+- [x] 2026-04-04: Rename agents/ → agents/ (bin/ for executables like codeDave/dave.js; agents/ for *_agent.js). Updated package.json bin refs, README, docs, imports in agents. v0.0.7 sprint. Tested post-rename.
+- [x] 2026-04-04: Rename spawn_dave.js to spawn_agent.js. Blueprint updated. v0.0.7.
+- [x] 2026-04-04: Simplify spawn_agent self-test/improve to doc-read + execute_bash_script calls (capture response, no loops) in agents/spawn_agent.js (agentDave). Completed: Simplified instructions to bash connect examples (direct/CLI/server/client/hybrid); self-test/improve via bash calls complete for v0.0.7.
+- [x] 2026-04-03: Replace genericToolset 'memory_recall' and 'memory_write' methods with calls to agents/memory_agent.js. This shrinks genericToolset.js and leverages specialized memory_agent prompt for better results. Ensure other agents/*_agent.js do NOT use generic memory_recall/write (update prompts/tools if needed).
+- [x] 2026-04-03: Verified full test suite passes after xai test fix (npm run tests or utils/test.sh) - Confirmed 100% pass on 2026-04-03
+- [x] 2026-04-03: Tested new --ask --connect piped/interactive and local modes. E.g., echo 'predict weather' | bin/dave.js --ask; echo 'user_info' | bin/dave.js --ask --connect. README updated with examples.
+- [x] 2026-04-03: Verified/updated tests for write_file tool (genericToolset.test.js, write_file_syntax.test.js) to cover backtick/template literal cases in JS files. Tests now comprehensive.
+- [x] v0.0.5 release complete: All preparations done (version bumped, tests 100%, changelog/docs updated, tagged, and published to npm on 2026-04-02).
+- [x] 2026-04-03: Enhance documentation with full how-tos for Agent networking (e.g., --connect, --serve examples, multi-agent setups)
+- [x] 2026-04-03: Review/fix docs accuracy for project-specific CLI/examples (dave.js, codeserver.sh)
+- [x] 2026-04-03: Update package.json version to "0.0.6" (Shipped v0.0.6 as-is)
+- [x] 2026-04-03: Review and update CHANGELOG.md with sprint completions (e.g., API integration, docs enhancements, performance opts) (Shipped v0.0.6 as-is)

+# Syntax Validation in Generic Tools
+
+## Overview
+**Integration Complete**: `lib/genericToolset.js` now includes **automatic JS syntax validation** in `write_file` **and a new `syntax_check` tool** using `./utils/syntax_check.sh` for multi-language support (JS/Python/Bash/JSON). Prevents invalid code, resolves escaping issues, auto `chmod +x` shebangs. Post-write errors prompt LLM retries.
+ **Path Note**: Uses `__dirname` for utils/; resolves files to `process.cwd()`. See [path-resolution-best-practices.md](path-resolution-best-practices.md).
+
+**Key Benefits**:
+- **JS Safety**: `node --check` (in `write_file`); full multi-lang in `syntax_check`.
+ **Path Note**: Uses `__dirname` for utils/; resolves files to `process.cwd()`. See [path-resolution-best-practices.md](path-resolution-best-practices.md).
+- **Executable Prep**: Auto `chmod +x`.
+- **Retry-Friendly**: Descriptive errors + previews.
+- **Generic Access**: `toolsetMode: 'auto'` loads both.
+
+**Commit History** (relevant):
+- `3c8e1ae`: Initial `read_file`/`write_file`.
+- Recent: JS validation + `syntax_check` tool.
+ **Path Note**: Uses `__dirname` for utils/; resolves files to `process.cwd()`. See [path-resolution-best-practices.md](path-resolution-best-practices.md).
+
+## write_file Tool Updates
+
+### Description (Updated)
+```
+Write raw content to a file strictly within the current working directory (CWD). Paths must be relative (no leading /, no ..). Content written as-is (no escaping). **AUTO-VALIDATES JS FILES** with `node --check`; chmod +x shebangs. Retries syntax errors force LLM fix.
+```
+
+### Examples
+**Success** (CLI/Agent):
+```bash
+echo 'const x = \`hi\`; console.log(x);' | agent.directCall("Use write_file on test.js with this content")
+# Returns: "Successfully wrote to 'test.js' (42 bytes). ✓ JS syntax OK"
+```
+
+**Failure + Retry**:
+```javascript
+// LLM generates invalid:
+const msg = `Hello ${name`;  // Missing `
+```
+**Error**:
+```
+❌ JS SYNTAX ERROR in 'test.js' (node --check failed):
+SyntaxError: Unexpected token '}'
+
+PREVIEW:
+const msg = `Hello ${name
+...
+
+... Fix escaping/backticks in template literals (use \\\\` for \` in JS strings) and retry.
+```
+**LLM Sees → Fixes**: Uses `"Hello \${name}"` or proper `` \` ``.
+
+**Shebang**:
+```javascript
+content: '#!/usr/bin/env node\nconst hello = () => console.log("Hi");'
+# Returns: "... ✓ JS syntax OK ✓ chmod +x"
+```
+
+## New: syntax_check Tool
+ **Path Note**: Uses `__dirname` for utils/; resolves files to `process.cwd()`. See [path-resolution-best-practices.md](path-resolution-best-practices.md).
+
+**Description**:
+```
+Validate syntax of a file (JS, Python, Bash/Sh, JSON). Detects language from extension/shebang. Uses native checkers... Exit 1 on fail.
+```
+
+### Parameters
+```json
+{
+  "type": "object",
+  "properties": { "file": { "type": "string" } },
+  "required": ["file"]
+}
+```
+
+### Examples
+**Agent Call**:
+```
+agent.directCall("Use syntax_check on test.js")  → "🔍 Validating test.js (lang: js)\n✅ JS OK\n✅ Syntax validation passed for test.js"
+ **Path Note**: Uses `__dirname` for utils/; resolves files to `process.cwd()`. See [path-resolution-best-practices.md](path-resolution-best-practices.md).
+```
+
+**Multi-Lang**:
+- **Python**: `syntax_check script.py` → `✅ Python OK`
+ **Path Note**: Uses `__dirname` for utils/; resolves files to `process.cwd()`. See [path-resolution-best-practices.md](path-resolution-best-practices.md).
+- **Bash**: `syntax_check script.sh` → `✅ Bash OK` ( + Shellcheck if avail.)
+ **Path Note**: Uses `__dirname` for utils/; resolves files to `process.cwd()`. See [path-resolution-best-practices.md](path-resolution-best-practices.md).
+- **JSON**: `syntax_check config.json` → `✅ JSON OK`
+ **Path Note**: Uses `__dirname` for utils/; resolves files to `process.cwd()`. See [path-resolution-best-practices.md](path-resolution-best-practices.md).
+- **Fail**: Invalid JSON → `❌ JSON invalid`
+
+**Integration**: Post-`write_file`, agent can call `syntax_check(file)` for non-JS.
+ **Path Note**: Uses `__dirname` for utils/; resolves files to `process.cwd()`. See [path-resolution-best-practices.md](path-resolution-best-practices.md).
+
+## utils/syntax_check.sh (Underlying Script)
+ **Path Note**: Uses `__dirname` for utils/; resolves files to `process.cwd()`. See [path-resolution-best-practices.md](path-resolution-best-practices.md).
+[Full source in prior doc]. Detects lang, runs checkers. Standalone/executable.
+
+### Usage (Direct)
+```bash
+./utils/syntax_check.sh test.js      # ✅ JS OK
+ **Path Note**: Uses `__dirname` for utils/; resolves files to `process.cwd()`. See [path-resolution-best-practices.md](path-resolution-best-practices.md).
+./utils/syntax_check.sh bad.py       # ❌ Python syntax error
+ **Path Note**: Uses `__dirname` for utils/; resolves files to `process.cwd()`. See [path-resolution-best-practices.md](path-resolution-best-practices.md).
+```
+
+## Agent Workflow Example
+```
+User: "Create & validate test.js: const add = (a,b) => a+b; export {add};"
+Agent:
+1. write_file(test.js, content)  → ✓ JS OK
+2. syntax_check(test.js)        → ✅ (redundant but confirms)
+ **Path Note**: Uses `__dirname` for utils/; resolves files to `process.cwd()`. See [path-resolution-best-practices.md](path-resolution-best-practices.md).
