-<action>Transform v4 YAML agent to v6 YAML format:</action>
-
-1. Convert agent metadata structure:
-   - v4 `agent.name` → v6 `agent.metadata.name`
-   - v4 `agent.id` → v6 `agent.metadata.id`
-   - v4 `agent.title` → v6 `agent.metadata.title`

-   - v4 `persona.style` → v6 `agent.persona.communication_style`
-   - v4 `persona.identity` → v6 `agent.persona.identity`
-   - v4 `persona.core_principles` → v6 `agent.persona.principles` (as array)

-3. Convert commands to menu:
-   - v4 `commands:` list → v6 `agent.menu:` array
-   - Each command becomes menu item with:
-     - `trigger:` (without \* prefix - added at build)
-     - `description:`
-     - Handler attributes (`workflow:`, `exec:`, `action:`, etc.)
-   - Map task references to workflow paths
-   - Map template references to workflow invocations

-4. Add v6-specific sections (in YAML):
-   - `agent.prompts:` array for inline prompts (if using action: "#id")
-   - `agent.critical_actions:` array for startup requirements
-   - `agent.activation_rules:` for universal agent rules
-
-5. Handle dependencies and paths:
-   - Convert task dependencies to workflow references

-
-## Agent Types
-
-### Simple Agent

-- Self-contained functionality
-- Basic command structure
-- No external resources
-
-### Expert Agent
-
-- Sidecar resources for domain knowledge
-- Extended capabilities
-- Knowledge base integration

-- Module-specific commands
-- Integrated with module structure
-
-## Workflow Phases
-
-### Phase 0: Optional Brainstorming
-
-- Creative ideation session
-- Explore concepts and personalities
-- Generate command ideas
-- Output feeds into persona development
-
-### Phase 1: Agent Setup
-
-1. Choose agent type (Simple/Expert/Module)
-2. Define identity (name, title, icon, filename)
-3. Assign to module (if Module agent)
-
-### Phase 2: Persona Development
-
-- Define role and responsibilities
-- Craft unique identity/backstory
-- Select communication style
-- Establish guiding principles
-- Add critical actions (optional)
-
-### Phase 3: Command Building
-
-- Add required commands (*help, *exit)
-- Define workflow commands
-- Add task commands
-- Create action commands
-- Configure attributes
-
-### Phase 4: Finalization
-
-- Generate .agent.yaml file
-- Create customize file (optional)
-- Setup sidecar resources (Expert agents)
-- Validate and compile
-- Provide usage instructions
-

-## Examples
-
-### Creating a Code Review Agent
-
-```
-User: I need a code review agent
-Builder: Let's brainstorm first...
-
-[Brainstorming generates ideas for strict vs friendly reviewer]
-
-Builder: Now let's build your agent:
-- Type: Simple
-- Name: Code Reviewer
-- Role: Senior developer conducting thorough reviews
-- Style: Professional but approachable
-- Commands:
-  - *review-pr: Review pull request
-  - *review-file: Review single file
-  - *review-standards: Check coding standards
-```
-
-### Creating a Domain Expert
-
-```
-Type: Expert
-Name: Legal Advisor
-Sidecar: legal-knowledge/
-Commands:
-  - *contract-review
-  - *compliance-check
-  - *risk-assessment
-```

-
-## Best Practices
-
-1. **Use brainstorming** for complex agents
-2. **Start simple** - Add commands incrementally
-3. **Test commands** before finalizing
-4. **Document thoroughly** in descriptions
-5. **Follow naming conventions** consistently
