- # Agent Dev — Vault-First Internal Development
13
-
14
- Develop the agent's own internals with the vault as the primary source of truth. The vault knows more about the agent than any code scan or model training data. Always search the vault first, extract maximum context, and only then touch code.
15
-
16
- ## When to Use
17
-
18
- Any time the work target is the agent's own codebase: adding tools, extending facades, modifying vault operations, brain features, skills, or transport. Not for projects that merely *use* the agent.
19
-
20
- ## Core Principle
21
-
22
- **Vault first. Before code. Before training data. Always.**
23
-
24
- The vault is the authoritative source for how the agent works. Do not rely on general knowledge from training data — it is outdated and lacks project-specific decisions. Do not scan the codebase to understand architecture — the vault already has it.
25
-
26
- ## Orchestration Sequence
27
-
28
- ### Step 1: Search the Vault (MANDATORY — before anything else)
29
-
30
- Before reading any source file, before making any plan, before offering any advice:
31
-
32
- ```
33
- YOUR_AGENT_core op:search_vault_intelligent
34
- params: { query: "<description of planned work>", options: { intent: "pattern" } }
35
- ```
36
-
37
- Search again with architecture-specific terms: the facade name, tool name, or subsystem being modified.
38
-
39
- ```
40
- YOUR_AGENT_core op:query_vault_knowledge
41
- params: { type: "workflow", category: "<relevant category>" }
42
- ```
43
-
44
- If initial results are sparse, search again with broader terms — synonyms, related subsystem names, parent concepts. Exhaust the vault before moving on.
45
-
46
- Review all results. Extract file paths, module names, function references, conventions, and constraints. These become the foundation for every step that follows.
47
-
48
- ### Step 2: Check Brain for Proven Patterns
49
-
50
- ```
51
- YOUR_AGENT_core op:strengths
52
- params: { days: 30, minStrength: 60 }
53
- ```
54
-
55
- ```
56
- YOUR_AGENT_core op:recommend
57
- params: { projectPath: "." }
58
- ```
59
-
60
- Check if the brain has learned anything relevant from recent sessions.
61
-
62
- ### Step 3: Targeted Code Reading (Only What Vault Pointed To)
63
-
64
- By now the vault has provided architecture context, file paths, and module references. Only read code when the vault describes the subsystem but lacks implementation detail (e.g., method signatures, exact line numbers).
65
-
66
- **Read only what the vault pointed to.** Open the specific files referenced in vault results — not the surrounding codebase, not the parent directory, not "let me explore the project structure."
67
-
68
- **Fallback: Codebase scan.** Only when vault search returned zero relevant results for the subsystem — meaning the vault genuinely has no knowledge about it — fall back to `Grep` with targeted terms. This is the last resort, not the default.
69
-
70
- ### Step 4: Plan with Vault Context
71
-
72
- Create the implementation plan referencing vault findings explicitly:
73
-
74
- - Which patterns apply (cite vault entry titles)
75
- - Which anti-patterns to avoid (cite the specific anti-pattern)
76
- - Which conventions to follow (naming, facade structure, tool registration)
77
-
78
- Every plan must trace its decisions back to vault knowledge. If a decision has no vault backing, flag it as a new architectural choice that should be captured after implementation (Step 7).
79
-
80
- ### Step 5: Implement
81
-
82
- Follow the plan. Key conventions for agent internals:
83
-
84
- - **Facades**: Thin routing layer — delegate to domain modules. No business logic in facades.
85
- - **Tools**: Follow `op:operation_name` naming, return structured responses.
86
- - **Vault writes**: All writes go through the vault intelligence layer.
87
- - **Tests**: Colocated test files. Run with vitest.
88
- - **Build**: Must compile without errors before considering done.
89
-
90
- ### Step 6: Validate and Self-Correct
91
-
92
- Run the relevant test suite. Rebuild — must complete without errors.
93
-
94
- **Self-correction loop:** If tests fail or build breaks, do NOT ask the user what to do. Read the error, trace the cause in the code just written, fix it, and re-run. Repeat until green. The agent owns the code it wrote — if something fails, the agent fixes its own implementation. Only escalate to the user when the failure is outside the agent's control (missing infrastructure, permissions, unclear requirements).
95
-
96
- ### Step 7: Capture What Was Learned
97
-
98
- If this work revealed new architectural knowledge, a useful pattern, or a surprising anti-pattern:
99
-
100
- ```
101
- YOUR_AGENT_core op:capture_knowledge
102
- params: {
103
- title: "<what was learned>",
104
- description: "<the pattern or anti-pattern>",
105
- type: "pattern",
106
- tags: ["<relevant-tags>"]
107
- }
108
- ```
109
-
110
- This ensures future sessions benefit from today's discovery — making the vault smarter for the next developer.
111
-
112
- ## Anti-Patterns to Avoid
113
-
114
- - **Code-first exploration**: Reading source files before searching the vault. The vault already has the architecture — scanning code is slower and gives less context.
115
- - **Training-data advice**: Offering general guidance from model training data instead of searching the vault for project-specific knowledge.
116
- - **Skipping vault search**: The vault contains all architecture knowledge. Not searching it means reinventing knowledge that already exists.
117
- - **Planning without vault context**: Plans created without vault knowledge miss conventions, duplicate existing patterns, or violate architectural boundaries.
118
- - **Broad codebase scanning**: Exploring directories and reading files "to understand the project" instead of using vault results as a targeted map.
119
-
120
- ## Exit Criteria
121
-
122
- Development is complete when: vault was searched exhaustively first (Step 1), implementation follows discovered patterns, tests pass, build succeeds, and any new learning is captured back to vault (Step 7).

12
-
13
- Help users understand what this agent can do, how to use it effectively, and what makes it different from a raw LLM. This skill handles the deep discovery flow — proactive tool suggestions during normal work are handled by the engine rules (Tool Advocacy section).
14
-
15
- ## When to Use
16
-
17
- - "What can you do?" / "What are your capabilities?"
18
- - "How do I search for X?" / "How do I capture knowledge?"
19
- - "What tools do you have?" / "Show me your features"
20
- - "Who are you?" / "What is this agent?"
21
- - "Help" / "I'm stuck" / "How does this work?"
22
- - First-time users, onboarding, or anyone unfamiliar with the agent
23
-
24
- ## Capability Discovery Sequence
25
-
26
- ### Step 1: Identity
27
-
28
- ```
29
- YOUR_AGENT_core op:activate
30
- params: { projectPath: "." }
31
- ```
32
-
33
- This returns the agent's persona: name, role, description, tone, principles, and domains. Present the identity first — who the agent is and what it specializes in.
34
-
35
- ### Step 2: Health & Status
36
-
37
- ```
38
- YOUR_AGENT_core op:admin_health
39
- ```
40
-
41
- Shows what subsystems are active: vault (how many entries), brain (vocabulary size), LLM availability. This tells the user what the agent currently has to work with.
42
-
43
- ### Step 3: Available Tools
44
-
45
- ```
46
- YOUR_AGENT_core op:admin_tool_list
47
- ```
48
-
49
- Lists all facades and operations. Present them grouped by category with plain-language descriptions.
50
-
51
- ### Step 4: Present by What Users Can DO
52
-
53
- Organize capabilities by user goals, not technical names:
54
-
55
- **Knowledge & Memory**
56
- - Search the vault for patterns, anti-patterns, and architectural decisions
57
- - Capture new knowledge from the current session
58
- - Search across sessions and projects for relevant context
59
- - Curate: deduplicate, groom, resolve contradictions
60
-
61
- **Planning & Execution**
62
- - Create structured plans with vault context and brain recommendations
63
- - Split plans into tasks with complexity estimates
64
- - Track execution with drift detection
65
- - Complete with knowledge capture and session recording
66
-
67
- **Intelligence & Learning**
68
- - Brain learns from every session — patterns get stronger with use
69
- - Recommendations based on similar past work
70
- - Strength tracking: which patterns are proven vs experimental
71
- - Feedback loop: brain improves based on what works
72
-
73
- **Quality & Validation**
74
- - Health checks across all subsystems
75
- - Iterative validation loops with configurable targets
76
- - Governance: policies, proposals, quotas
77
-
78
- **Identity & Control**
79
- - Persona activation and deactivation
80
- - Intent routing: the agent classifies what you want and routes to the right workflow
81
- - Project registration and cross-project linking
82
-
83
- **Domain Knowledge** (varies by agent)
84
- - Each domain has: `get_patterns`, `search`, `get_entry`, `capture`, `remove`
85
- - Call `op:activate` to discover which domains are configured
86
-
87
- ## Common Questions
88
-
89
- ### "What makes you different from regular Claude?"
90
-
91
- You have persistent knowledge (vault), learned patterns (brain), structured planning with grading, iterative validation loops, and domain-specific intelligence. Regular Claude starts fresh every conversation — this agent accumulates knowledge and gets smarter over time.
92
-
93
- ### "How do I get the most out of you?"
94
-
95
- 1. **Use the vault** — search before deciding, capture after learning
96
- 2. **Use planning** — structured plans beat ad-hoc work for anything non-trivial
97
- 3. **Trust the brain** — pattern recommendations come from real usage data
98
- 4. **Capture everything** — every bug fix, every pattern, every anti-pattern. The vault grows smarter with use.
99
- 5. **Use loops for quality** — iterative validation catches issues that single-pass work misses
100
-
101
- ### "How do I add new capabilities?"
102
-
103
- Extensions in `src/extensions/` can add new ops, facades, middleware, and hooks. Domain packs add domain-specific knowledge and validation.
104
-
105
- ## Anti-Patterns
106
-
107
- - **Listing raw op names without context** — always explain what the op does in plain language
108
- - **Claiming capabilities that do not exist** — only reference ops the agent actually has. When unsure, call `op:admin_tool_list` first
109
- - **Dumping the entire tool catalog** — answer the specific question, show relevant tools, not all tools
110
- - **Repeating what the user already knows** — if they ask about a specific feature, answer that, don't give the full tour

- # Agent Persona — Stay in Character
11
-
12
- This skill reinforces persona persistence. The MCP activation loads the runtime payload — this skill ensures the character sticks across the full session, including after context compaction.
13
-
14
- ## How It Works
15
-
16
- Every agent has a persona defined in `src/identity/persona.ts` (or `src/activation/persona.ts` in older agents). This file contains:
17
-
18
- - **name** — the agent's display name
19
- - **role** — what the agent does
20
- - **tone** — `precise`, `mentor`, or `pragmatic`
21
- - **greeting** — the activation response
22
- - **principles** — core values that guide behavior
23
-
24
- ## Activation
25
-
26
- When the user triggers activation (greeting phrase or explicit request):
27
-
28
- ```
29
- YOUR_AGENT_core op:activate
30
- params: { projectPath: "." }
31
- ```
32
-
33
- The activation response contains the full persona payload. Adopt it immediately.
34
-
35
- ## Rules
36
-
37
- 1. **Stay in character for EVERY response** until the user explicitly deactivates
38
- 2. **Technical accuracy is the priority** — persona is the wrapper, not a replacement for correctness
39
- 3. **Tone consistency** — match the configured tone (`precise` = concise and exact, `mentor` = educational and encouraging, `pragmatic` = direct and practical)
40
- 4. If character drifts after context compaction, the persona information in the compacted summary should restore it — follow it
41
-
42
- ## Context Compaction Survival
43
-
44
- Long sessions trigger context compaction. To survive:
45
-
46
- - The persona activation state is included in compaction summaries
47
- - After compaction, check if persona was active and re-adopt the character
48
- - Never break character just because the conversation was compacted
49
-
50
- ## Deactivation
51
-
52
- When the user says "deactivate", "stop persona", "be normal", or uses the agent's deactivation phrase:
53
-
54
- ```
55
- YOUR_AGENT_core op:activate
56
- params: { deactivate: true }
57
- ```
58
-
59
- Return to neutral assistant mode.
60
-
61
- ## Anti-Patterns
62
-
63
- - **Dropping character mid-session** — if activated, stay activated
64
- - **Over-persona, under-substance** — character adds flavor, not replaces technical depth
65
- - **Forcing persona on unwilling users** — only activate when explicitly triggered
66
- - **Ignoring tone setting** — a `precise` agent should not use flowery language; a `mentor` agent should not be terse

184
- - **Gaps**: Domains with low coverage or stale knowledge
185
- - **Stale**: Entries needing refresh (from age report)
186
- - **Quality**: Curator health audit score
187

189
-
190
- ## Exit Criteria
191
-
192

- # Brainstorming Ideas Into Designs
9
-
10
- ## Overview
11
-
12
- Help turn ideas into fully formed designs and specs through natural collaborative dialogue.
13
-
14
- Start by understanding the current project context, then ask questions one at a time to refine the idea. Once you understand what you're building, present the design and get user approval.
15
-
16
- <HARD-GATE>
17
- Do NOT invoke any implementation skill, write any code, scaffold any project, or take any implementation action until you have presented a design and the user has approved it. This applies to EVERY project regardless of perceived simplicity.
18
- </HARD-GATE>
19
-
20
- ## Anti-Pattern: "This Is Too Simple To Need A Design"
21
-
22
- Every project goes through this process. A todo list, a single-function utility, a config change — all of them. "Simple" projects are where unexamined assumptions cause the most wasted work. The design can be short (a few sentences for truly simple projects), but you MUST present it and get approval.
23
-
24
- ## Checklist
25
-
26
- You MUST create a task for each of these items and complete them in order:
27
-
28
- 1. **Classify intent** — understand what type of work this is
29
- 2. **Search vault for prior art** — check if something similar was built, decided, or rejected before
30
- 3. **Search web for existing solutions** — don't build what already exists
31
- 4. **Explore project context** — check files, docs, recent commits
32
- 5. **Ask clarifying questions** — one at a time, understand purpose/constraints/success criteria
33
- 6. **Propose 2-3 approaches** — with trade-offs and your recommendation
34
- 7. **Present design** — in sections scaled to their complexity, get user approval after each section
35
- 8. **Capture design decision** — persist the decision to the vault
36
- 9. **Write design doc** — save to `docs/plans/YYYY-MM-DD-<topic>-design.md` and commit
37
- 10. **Transition to implementation** — invoke writing-plans skill to create implementation plan
38
-
39
- ## Step 0: Classify Intent
40
-
41
- Before anything else, understand the type of work:
42
-
43
- ```
44
- YOUR_AGENT_core op:route_intent
45
- params: { prompt: "<the user's request>" }
46
- ```
47
-
48
- This returns the intent type (BUILD, FIX, VALIDATE, DESIGN, IMPROVE, DELIVER) and routing guidance. Use this to focus the brainstorming — a FIX intent needs different questions than a BUILD intent.
49
-
50
- ## Step 1: Search Before Designing — Vault, Then Web
51
-
52
- **BEFORE asking any questions or exploring code**, search for existing knowledge. Follow this order:
53
-
54
- ### Vault First
55
-
56
- ```
57
- YOUR_AGENT_core op:search_intelligent
58
- params: { query: "<the feature or idea the user described>" }
59
- ```
60
-
61
- Look for:
62
-
63
- - **Previous designs** — was this discussed or attempted before?
64
- - **Architectural decisions** — are there constraints from past decisions?
65
- - **Patterns** — established approaches in this codebase
66
- - **Anti-patterns** — approaches that were tried and failed
67
-
68
- Browse the knowledge landscape for related context:
69
-
70
- ```
71
- YOUR_AGENT_core op:vault_tags
72
- YOUR_AGENT_core op:vault_domains
73
- ```
74
-
75
- Check what the brain says about proven patterns in this domain:
76
-
77
- ```
78
- YOUR_AGENT_core op:brain_strengths
79
- ```
80
-
81
- Check if other linked projects have solved this:
82
-
83
- ```
84
- YOUR_AGENT_core op:memory_cross_project_search
85
- params: { query: "<the feature>", crossProject: true }
86
- ```
87
-
88
- ### Web Search Second
89
-
90
- If the vault doesn't have prior art, search the web for:
91
-
92
- - **Existing libraries/tools** that solve this problem (don't build what exists)
93
- - **Reference implementations** in similar projects
94
- - **Best practices** and established patterns for this type of feature
95
- - **Known pitfalls** that others have documented
96
-
97
- ### Present Findings
98
-
99
- Present vault + web findings to the user: "Before we design this, here's what I found..." This informs the design conversation and prevents reinventing solutions.
100
-
101
- ## The Process
102
-
103
- **Understanding the idea:**
104
-
105
- - Check out the current project state first (files, docs, recent commits)
106
- - Ask questions one at a time to refine the idea
107
- - Prefer multiple choice questions when possible, but open-ended is fine too
108
- - Only one question per message
109
- - Focus on understanding: purpose, constraints, success criteria
110
-
111
- **Exploring approaches:**
112
-
113
- - Propose 2-3 different approaches with trade-offs
114
- - Present options conversationally with your recommendation and reasoning
115
- - Lead with your recommended option and explain why
116
- - **Reference vault patterns** — if the vault has a proven approach, lead with it
117
- - **Reference web findings** — if an existing library solves this, recommend it over custom code
118
-
119
- **Presenting the design:**
120
-
121
- - Once you understand what you're building, present the design
122
- - Scale each section to its complexity
123
- - Ask after each section whether it looks right so far
124
- - Cover: architecture, components, data flow, error handling, testing
125
-
126
- ## After the Design
127
-
128
- **Capture the design decision to the vault:**
129
-
130
- ```
131
- YOUR_AGENT_core op:capture_knowledge
132
- params: {
133
- title: "<feature name> — design decision",
134
- description: "<chosen approach, rationale, rejected alternatives>",
135
- type: "decision",
136
- category: "<relevant domain>",
137
- tags: ["<relevant>", "<tags>", "design-decision"]
138
- }
139
- ```
140
-
141
- This ensures future brainstorming sessions can reference what was decided and why.
142
-
143
- **Documentation:**
144
-
145
- - Write the validated design to `docs/plans/YYYY-MM-DD-<topic>-design.md`
146
- - Commit the design document to git
147
-
148
- **Implementation:**
149
-
150
- - Invoke the writing-plans skill to create a detailed implementation plan
151
- - Do NOT invoke any other skill. writing-plans is the next step.
152
-
153
- ## Process Flow
154
-
155
- **The terminal state is invoking writing-plans.** Do NOT invoke any other implementation skill. The ONLY skill you invoke after brainstorming is writing-plans.
156
-
157
- ## Key Principles
158
-
159
- - **Classify first** — understand intent before diving in
160
- - **Vault first** — don't reinvent what's been decided or solved before
161
- - **Web second** — don't build what already exists as a library
162
- - **One question at a time** — don't overwhelm with multiple questions
163
- - **Multiple choice preferred** — easier to answer than open-ended when possible
164
- - **YAGNI ruthlessly** — remove unnecessary features from all designs
165
- - **Explore alternatives** — always propose 2-3 approaches before settling
166
- - **Incremental validation** — present design, get approval before moving on
167
- - **Capture decisions** — every design decision gets persisted to the vault
168
- - **Cross-project learning** — check if other projects solved this already
169
- - **Be flexible** — go back and clarify when something doesn't make sense
