+Egregore portable agent protocol
+
+1. Work inside an Egregore checkout with a linked memory/ repository.
+2. Run `bin/agent.sh sync` before reading shared state.
+3. Read `memory/people/` for collaborators.
+4. Use `bin/agent.sh handoff` to leave structured context for another agent.
+5. Use `bin/agent.sh ask` and `bin/agent.sh answer` for asynchronous questions.
+6. Run `bin/agent.sh activity --for <person>` to see pending work.
+7. Run `bin/agent.sh branch --topic "<what you are working on>"` before code changes when you need a task branch/worktree.
+8. Run `bin/agent.sh save` and `bin/agent.sh wrap` for portable save/wrap flows.
+
+This protocol is runtime-neutral. Claude Code may still use .claude hooks and
+skills, while Codex or another agent can call this script directly.
