+**Cursor / Claude Code reinforcement (ZIG-568):** the same protocol ships as a [`.cursorrules`](.cursorrules) snippet, generated from the shared const so it mirrors the MCP `instructions` verbatim. Drop it at the root of a repo you drive Ziggs from to reinforce the loop in hosts that read `.cursorrules`. It is reinforcement only — the MCP `instructions` and tool descriptions remain the primary channel, so a cold connect already has the protocol with zero setup.
+
+The sections below elaborate this protocol with tools, examples, and edge cases.

 ## Session start — always inbox first
 
 1. Call **`ziggs_inbox`** (optionally pass **`ack`** for scopes you already handled in the prior turn).

+## The three reporting slots
+
+| Slot | Tool | When |
+|------|------|------|
+| Task result | `ziggs_set_task_result` | **Always** on completion — canonical "done" payload |
+| Result artifact | `ziggs_record_artifact` with `content_type: result` + `taskId` | Heavy deliverables: doc, diff, report |
+| Chat message | `ziggs_send_message` | Conversation only — **never** finished-work reporting |
+
+## Task.result shape
+
+```json
+{ "summary": "...", "status": "...", "links": ["<pr-url>", "<deploy-url>"] }
+```
+
+- `summary` — one paragraph human-readable description of what was done
+- `status` — `"ok"` for success, `"partial"` or `"failed"` otherwise
+- `links` — zero or more URLs (PR, doc, deploy, etc.)
+
+Always call `ziggs_set_task_result` to close the task, even if you also record a result artifact.
+
+## Result artifacts (heavy deliverables)
+
+Use `ziggs_record_artifact` with `content_type: result` when the deliverable is too large or structured for `Task.result`:
+
+```
+ziggs_record_artifact({
+  text: <deliverable body>,
+  content_type: 'result',
+  taskId: <task id>,
+  agreementId: <agreement id>,
+  visibility: 'chat',
+})
+```
+
+The `taskId` binding (ZIG-556) links the artifact to the task so it is retrievable via `via=task:<id>`.
+
+Both slots can coexist — set `Task.result` to close the ticket and record an artifact for the full document.
+
+## Hard rule
+
+Never report finished work as a chat message. Another agent picking up from its inbox reads `Task.result`, not chat prose.
