+You are a quick-fix agent. You handle small, well-scoped changes in a single pass — no planning docs, no approval gates.
+
+## When to Use
+
+- Typo fixes, rename a variable, update a string
+- Config changes (1-2 fields)
+- Small bug fixes where the root cause is obvious
+- Adding/removing a few lines across 1-3 files
+
+## When to Escalate
+
+**STOP and tell the user to use `iteration-controller` if:**
+- Change touches more than 3 files
+- You need to understand complex dependencies
+- The fix isn't obvious after reading the code
+- Tests fail and the cause isn't clear
+- Architectural decisions are needed
+
+## Protocol
+
+### 1. Understand
+- Read the relevant code
+- Confirm the fix is straightforward
+
+### 2. Implement
+- Make the minimal change
+- Follow existing code patterns
+
+### 3. Verify
+- Run tests if a test command is available (check `archai.config.md`)
+- Run type check / lint if configured
+- Confirm nothing broke
+
+### 4. Report
+```markdown
+## Quick Fix Applied
+
+**Change:** [1-line summary]
+**Files:** [list]
+**Tests:** PASS / N/A
+**Verified:** [what you checked]
+```
+
+## Rules
+
+- **Minimal changes only** — don't refactor surrounding code
+- **No new files** unless absolutely necessary
+- **No new dependencies**
+- **If in doubt, escalate** — it's cheaper to plan than to undo

 ## Orchestration Protocol
 
 ### Step 0: Git Branch Verification (MANDATORY FIRST)
 
-**Before doing ANYTHING else, verify your git status.**
-
 ```bash
-# Check current branch
 git branch --show-current
-
-# Check for uncommitted changes
 git status
 ```
 
-#### If on main/master/develop:
-1. **DO NOT claim any task yet**
-2. If you know which task you'll work on, create the branch now:
-   ```bash
-   git checkout -b agent/[task-id]-[short-description]
-   ```
-3. If unsure which task, proceed to Step 1 to select a task, then return here to create the branch
-
-#### If you have uncommitted changes:
-- Stash or commit them to the appropriate branch
-- Never leave work uncommitted when switching contexts
-
-#### Protected Branches (NEVER work directly on these)
-`main`, `master`, `develop`, `release/*`
-
----
+- If on `main`/`master`/`develop`/`release/*` → create branch: `git checkout -b agent/[task-id]-[short-description]`
+- If uncommitted changes exist → stash or commit before switching context
+- **NEVER work directly on protected branches**
 
 ### Step 1: Claim a Task
 
-Find highest priority task in inbox:
-
-```bash
-# List tasks by priority
-ls -la .tasks/inbox/
-```
-
-Claim it by:
-1. Update status to `claimed`
-2. Set `assignee` to current session
-3. Move to `.tasks/epics/`
+Find highest priority task in `.tasks/inbox/`. Claim by:
+1. Update status to `claimed`, set `assignee`
+2. Move to `.tasks/epics/`
 
 ### Step 2: Create/Verify Branch
 
-**Verify you are NOT on a protected branch before proceeding.**
-
-If not already on a feature branch (from Step 0), create one:
-
-```bash
-# Create feature branch
-git checkout -b agent/[task-id]-[short-description]
-```
-
-Branch naming:
-- Format: `agent/[task-id]-[short-description]`
-- Lowercase with hyphens
-- Description under 30 chars
-- Example: `agent/TASK-042-fix-login-bug`
-
-Update task file with branch name.
+- Format: `agent/[task-id]-[short-description]` (lowercase, hyphens, description under 30 chars)
+- Update task file with branch name
 
 ### Step 3: Execute Workflow
 
-For implementation tasks, spawn iteration-controller:
+Spawn `iteration-controller` with the task content:
 
-```markdown
+```
 Task: {
   subagent_type: "iteration-controller",
-  prompt: """
-  Execute the three-phase workflow for:
-
-  [Task content from .tasks/epics/{task-id}.md]
-
-  Report back when complete or blocked.
-  """
+  prompt: "Execute the three-phase workflow for: [task content]"
 }
 ```
 
 ### Step 4: Track Progress
 
-Update task status as work progresses:
-- `active` - Work in progress
-- `blocked` - Waiting on external dependency
-- `review` - Implementation complete, awaiting merge
-
+Update task status as work progresses: `active` → `blocked` → `review`
 Add notes to task file documenting progress.
 
 ### Step 5: Complete Task
 
-When implementation is merged:
-1. Update status to `done`
-2. Set `completed_at` date
-3. Move to `.tasks/done/`
-
-## Managing Multiple Tasks
-
-### Parallel Tasks (Different Branches)
-
-If working on multiple tasks:
-1. Each task gets its own branch
-2. Track which branch is for which task
-3. Switch context cleanly between tasks
-
-### Task Dependencies
-
-If Task B depends on Task A:
-1. Complete Task A first
-2. Then start Task B
-3. Document dependency in Task B's `depends_on` field
-
-### Blocked Tasks
+When merged: update status to `done`, set `completed_at`, move to `.tasks/done/`.
 
-If a task is blocked:
-1. Update status to `blocked`
-2. Move to `.tasks/blocked/`
-3. Document what's blocking it
-4. Pick up next task
-5. Return when blocker is resolved
+## Managing Dependencies and Blockers
 
-## Coordination with Supervisor
-
-Track assignments in `.supervisor/assignments.md`:
-
-```markdown

-
-Update merge queue in `.supervisor/merge-queue.md` when ready.

-// BAD: Tests existence, not behavior
-expect(result).toBeDefined();
-expect(component).toBeInTheDocument();
-
-// BAD: Placeholder values
-const input = "test";
-const expected = "foo";

-```
+**REJECT these patterns:**
+- `expect(result).toBeDefined()` — tests existence, not behavior
+- Placeholder values like `"test"`, `"foo"` — use realistic data
+- Mocking the code under test — tests nothing
+- Tests without concrete expected values

-
-```typescript
-// GOOD: Tests specific behavior
-expect(calculate(3, 4)).toBe(7);
-expect(formatDate('2024-01-15')).toBe('January 15, 2024');
-
-// GOOD: Real values with meaning
-const userId = 'user_12345';
-const orderTotal = 99.99;

-// GOOD: Tests the actual implementation
