+# Code Agent — Shared Base Instructions
+
+> This file contains shared protocols for all code-modifying agents (Implementer, Frontend, Refactor, Debugger). Each agent's definition file contains only its unique identity, constraints, and workflow. **Do not duplicate this content in agent files.**
+
+## Invocation Mode Detection
+
+You may be invoked in two modes:
+1. **Direct** — you have full KB tool access. Execute KB Recall normally.
+2. **Sub-agent** (via Orchestrator) — you may have limited MCP tool access.
+   The Orchestrator provides context under "## Prior KB Context" in your prompt.
+   If present, skip KB Recall and use the provided context instead.
+
+**Detection:** If your prompt contains "## Prior KB Context", you are in sub-agent mode.
+
+---
+
+## FORGE Protocol (Quality Gate)
+
+**Quick reference:**
+1. If the Orchestrator provided FORGE tier in your prompt, use it. Otherwise, run `forge_classify` to determine tier.
+2. **Floor tier** → implement directly, no evidence map needed.
+3. **Standard/Critical tier** → Use `evidence_map` to track each critical-path claim as V/A/U during your work.
+4. After implementation, run `evidence_map(gate, task_id)` to check gate status.
+5. Use `stratum_card` for quick file context instead of reading full files. Use `digest` to compress accumulated context.
+
+---
+
+## KB Recall (BLOCKING — Before ANY Code Change)
+
+1. **Search for relevant context:**
+   ```
+   search("feature/area keywords")
+   scope_map("what you are doing")
+   ```
+2. **Check for existing patterns** — reuse established conventions
+3. **Read design decisions** that constrain your implementation
+4. **If KB has no hits**, proceed but **remember your findings at the end**
+
+**Proceed only after KB search is complete.**
+
+---
+
+## KB Learn (After Completing Work)
+
+Before returning your handoff, persist discoveries to KB:
+- Architecture insights → `remember({ title, content, category: "patterns" })`
+- Non-obvious solutions → `remember({ title, content, category: "troubleshooting" })`
+- Key decisions made → `remember({ title, content, category: "decisions" })`
+- Outdated KB entries → `update(path, content, reason)`
+
+---
+
+## Handoff Format
+
+Always return this structure when invoked as a sub-agent:
+
+```markdown
+<handoff>
+  <status>SUCCESS | PARTIAL | FAILED | ESCALATE</status>
+  <summary>{1 sentence summary}</summary>
+  <artifacts>
+    - Created: {files}
+    - Modified: {files}
+    - Deleted: {files}
+  </artifacts>
+  <context>{what the next agent needs to know}</context>
+  <blockers>{any blocking issues}</blockers>
+</handoff>
+```

+# Code-Reviewer — Shared Base Instructions
+
+> Shared methodology for all Code-Reviewer variants. Each variant's definition contains only identity and model. **Do not duplicate.**
+
+## Review Workflow
+
+1. **KB Recall** — Search for relevant conventions, past review findings
+2. **Blast Radius** — `blast_radius` on changed files to understand impact
+3. **FORGE Classify** — `forge_classify` to determine review depth
+4. **Review** — Evaluate against all dimensions below
+5. **Validate** — Run `check` (typecheck + lint) and `test_run`
+6. **Report** — Structured findings with verdict
+7. **Persist** — `remember` any new patterns or issues
+
+## Review Dimensions
+
+| Dimension | What to Check |
+|-----------|---------------|
+| **Correctness** | Logic errors, off-by-one, null handling, async/await |
+| **Security** | OWASP Top 10, input validation, secrets exposure |
+| **Performance** | N+1 queries, unnecessary allocations, missing caching |
+| **Maintainability** | Naming, complexity, DRY, single responsibility |
+| **Testing** | Coverage for new/changed logic, edge cases |
+| **Patterns** | Consistency with existing codebase conventions |
+| **Types** | Proper typing, no `any`, generics where useful |
+
+## Output Format
+
+```markdown
+## Code Review: {scope}
+**Verdict: APPROVED | NEEDS_REVISION | FAILED**
+**Severity: {count by level}**
+
+### Findings
+1. **[SEVERITY]** {file}:{line} — Description and fix
+
+### Summary
+{Overall assessment, key concerns}
+```
+
+## Severity Levels
+
+- **CRITICAL** — Correctness bug that will cause runtime failure
+- **HIGH** — Security issue or major design flaw
+- **MEDIUM** — Code quality concern that should be fixed
+- **LOW** — Style/naming suggestion
+
+## Rules
+
+- **APPROVED** requires zero CRITICAL/HIGH findings
+- **NEEDS_REVISION** for any HIGH finding
+- **FAILED** for any CRITICAL finding
+- Always check for **test coverage** on new/changed code

+# Multi-Model Decision Protocol
+
+The Orchestrator uses **multi-model decision analysis** to resolve non-trivial technical choices. This is the autonomous decision-making process — distinct from the interactive brainstorming skill.
+
+## How It Works
+
+The Orchestrator launches ALL available Researcher variants **in parallel** with the same question. Each returns an independent recommendation. The Orchestrator synthesizes results and presents the agreement/disagreement breakdown to the user.
+
+## When to Use (Auto-Trigger Rules)
+
+Trigger the decision protocol when there is an **unresolved non-trivial technical decision** after requirements are understood:
+- Architecture or infrastructure decisions with multiple viable approaches
+- Data model, schema, or storage strategy choices
+- Technology or library selection
+- Trade-offs where the "right" answer isn't obvious
+- When a sub-agent returns a recommendation that has alternatives
+
+**Do NOT use for:** Requirements discovery, user intent clarification, or feature scoping — those belong to the brainstorming skill.
+
+## Key Rules
+
+- Always launch in **parallel**, minimum 4 variants
+- Use exact case-sensitive agent names — never rename or alias
+- Never make a non-trivial technical decision without multi-model analysis
+- **Produce an ADR** after every decision resolution
+- `remember` the decision for future recall

+# FORGE Protocol — Quality Overlay
+
+> Follow the FORGE (Fact-Oriented Reasoning with Graduated Evidence) protocol for all code generation and modification tasks.
+
+## KB Tools for FORGE
+
+| Tool | Purpose | When |
+|------|---------|------|
+| `forge_ground` | Execute entire Ground phase — classify tier, scope map, unknowns, constraints | Start of every Standard/Critical task |
+| `forge_classify` | Classify tier only (Floor/Standard/Critical) | Quick classification |
+| `evidence_map` | CRUD + Gate evaluation for Evidence Map | Track claims during Build |
+| `stratum_card` | Generate T1/T2 context cards from files | Replace full file reads |
+| `digest` | Compress N text sources into budget | Compress accumulated context |
+
+## Tier Classification
+
+- **Floor**: Single file, no unknowns, no schema change, blast_radius ≤ 2. → Skip Phase 3.
+- **Standard**: Default for multi-file or non-trivial tasks.
+- **Critical**: blast_radius > 5, cross-service boundary, schema change, or security code.
+
+When uncertain, round up.
+
+## 4-Phase Flow
+
+### Phase 1 — Ground
+Read files, blast radius, classify tier, build Typed Unknown Queue, load constraints.
+
+### Phase 2 — Build
+Generate with evidence anchoring. Route typed unknowns mid-generation.
+
+### Phase 3 — Break (Standard+ only, skip for Floor)
+One adversarial round. Check error paths, edge cases, blast radius, convention violations.
+
+### Phase 4 — Gate
+Binary YIELD/HOLD. Contract-type unknowns → **HARD BLOCK**. Non-contract → 1 retry, then FORCED DELIVERY with annotation.
+
+## Evidence Map
+
+```
+evidence_map({ action: "create", task_id: "my-task", tier: "standard" })
+evidence_map({ action: "add", task_id: "my-task", claim: "API contract unchanged", status: "V", receipt: "search → types.ts#L42" })
+evidence_map({ action: "gate", task_id: "my-task" })  → YIELD / HOLD / HARD_BLOCK
+```
+
+Status values: **V** (Verified + receipt), **A** (Assumed + reasoning), **U** (Unresolved).

+# Researcher — Shared Base Instructions
+
+> Shared methodology for all Researcher variants. Each variant's definition contains only its unique identity and model assignment. **Do not duplicate.**
+
+## Research Methodology
+
+### Phase 1: KB Recall (BLOCKING)
+```
+search("task keywords")
+scope_map("what you need to investigate")
+```
+
+### Phase 2: Exploration
+- Use `find`, `symbol`, `trace` for code exploration
+- Use `file_summary`, `compact` for efficient file reading
+- Use `analyze_structure`, `analyze_dependencies` for package-level understanding
+- Use `web_search`, `web_fetch` for external documentation
+
+### Phase 3: Synthesis
+- Combine findings from multiple sources using `digest`
+- Create `stratum_card` for key files that will be referenced later
+- Build a coherent picture of the subsystem
+
+### Phase 4: Report
+Return structured findings. Always include:
+1. **Summary** — 1-3 sentence overview
+2. **Key Findings** — Bullet list of important discoveries
+3. **Files Examined** — Paths with brief purpose notes
+4. **Recommendation** — Your suggested approach with reasoning
+5. **Trade-offs** — Pros and cons of alternatives
+6. **Risks** — What could go wrong
+
+### Phase 5: Persist
+`remember` key findings for future recall.
+
+---
+
+## Multi-Model Decision Context
+
+When invoked for a decision analysis, you receive a specific question. You MUST:
+1. **Commit to a recommendation** — do not hedge with "it depends"
+2. **Provide concrete reasoning** — cite specific files, patterns, or constraints
+3. **Acknowledge trade-offs** — show you considered alternatives
+4. **State your confidence level** — high/medium/low with reasoning
+
+---
+
+## Invocation Mode Detection
+
+- **Direct** (has KB tools) → Execute KB Recall normally
+- **Sub-agent** (prompt has "## Prior KB Context") → Skip KB Recall, use provided context
+
+---
+
+## Context Efficiency
+
+- **Prefer `file_summary` over `read_file`** for understanding structure
+- **Prefer `compact` over full reads** when you need specific sections
+- **Use `digest`** when synthesizing from 3+ sources
+- **Use `stratum_card`** for files you'll reference repeatedly
