+# Loki Mode - Multi-Agent Autonomous Startup System - Detailed Guide
+
+> This file contains the detailed procedure and reference material extracted from `SKILL.md` for focused loading. The root skill defines activation, examples, safety constraints, and limitations.
+
+## Quick Reference
+
+### Critical First Steps (Every Turn)
+1. **READ** `.loki/CONTINUITY.md` - Your working memory + "Mistakes & Learnings"
+2. **RETRIEVE** Relevant memories from `.loki/memory/` (episodic patterns, anti-patterns)
+3. **CHECK** `.loki/state/orchestrator.json` - Current phase/metrics
+4. **REVIEW** `.loki/queue/pending.json` - Next tasks
+5. **FOLLOW** RARV cycle: REASON, ACT, REFLECT, **VERIFY** (test your work!)
+6. **OPTIMIZE** Opus=planning, Sonnet=development, Haiku=unit tests/monitoring - 10+ Haiku agents in parallel
+7. **TRACK** Efficiency metrics: tokens, time, agent count per task
+8. **CONSOLIDATE** After task: Update episodic memory, extract patterns to semantic memory
+
+### Key Files (Priority Order)
+| File | Purpose | Update When |
+|------|---------|-------------|
+| `.loki/CONTINUITY.md` | Working memory - what am I doing NOW? | Every turn |
+| `.loki/memory/semantic/` | Generalized patterns & anti-patterns | After task completion |
+| `.loki/memory/episodic/` | Specific interaction traces | After each action |
+| `.loki/metrics/efficiency/` | Task efficiency scores & rewards | After each task |
+| `.loki/specs/openapi.yaml` | API spec - source of truth | Architecture changes |
+| `CLAUDE.md` | Project context - arch & patterns | Significant changes |
+| `.loki/queue/*.json` | Task states | Every task change |
+
+### Decision Tree: What To Do Next?
+
+```
+START
+  |
+  +-- Read CONTINUITY.md ----------+
+  |                                |
+  +-- Task in-progress?            |
+  |   +-- YES: Resume              |
+  |   +-- NO: Check pending queue  |
+  |                                |
+  +-- Pending tasks?               |
+  |   +-- YES: Claim highest priority
+  |   +-- NO: Check phase completion
+  |                                |
+  +-- Phase done?                  |
+  |   +-- YES: Advance to next phase
+  |   +-- NO: Generate tasks for phase
+  |                                |
+LOOP <-----------------------------+
+```
+
+### SDLC Phase Flow
+
+```
+Bootstrap -> Discovery -> Architecture -> Infrastructure
+     |           |            |              |
+  (Setup)   (Analyze PRD)  (Design)    (Cloud/DB Setup)
+                                             |
+Development <- QA <- Deployment <- Business Ops <- Growth Loop
+     |         |         |            |            |
+ (Build)    (Test)   (Release)    (Monitor)    (Iterate)
+```
+
+### Essential Patterns
+
+**Spec-First:** `OpenAPI -> Tests -> Code -> Validate`
+**Code Review:** `Blind Review (parallel) -> Debate (if disagree) -> Devil's Advocate -> Merge`
+**Guardrails:** `Input Guard (BLOCK) -> Execute -> Output Guard (VALIDATE)` (OpenAI SDK)
+**Tripwires:** `Validation fails -> Halt execution -> Escalate or retry`
+**Fallbacks:** `Try primary -> Model fallback -> Workflow fallback -> Human escalation`
+**Explore-Plan-Code:** `Research files -> Create plan (NO CODE) -> Execute plan` (Anthropic)
+**Self-Verification:** `Code -> Test -> Fail -> Learn -> Update CONTINUITY.md -> Retry`
+**Constitutional Self-Critique:** `Generate -> Critique against principles -> Revise` (Anthropic)
+**Memory Consolidation:** `Episodic (trace) -> Pattern Extraction -> Semantic (knowledge)`
+**Hierarchical Reasoning:** `High-level planner -> Skill selection -> Local executor` (DeepMind)
+**Tool Orchestration:** `Classify Complexity -> Select Agents -> Track Efficiency -> Reward Learning`
+**Debate Verification:** `Proponent defends -> Opponent challenges -> Synthesize` (DeepMind)
+**Handoff Callbacks:** `on_handoff -> Pre-fetch context -> Transfer with data` (OpenAI SDK)
+**Narrow Scope:** `3-5 steps max -> Human review -> Continue` (HN Production)
+**Context Curation:** `Manual selection -> Focused context -> Fresh per task` (HN Production)
+**Deterministic Validation:** `LLM output -> Rule-based checks -> Retry or approve` (HN Production)
+**Routing Mode:** `Simple task -> Direct dispatch | Complex task -> Supervisor orchestration` (AWS Bedrock)
+**E2E Browser Testing:** `Playwright MCP -> Automate browser -> Verify UI features visually` (Anthropic Harness)
+

+
+
+## Core Autonomy Rules
+
+**This system runs with ZERO human intervention.**
+
+1. **NEVER ask questions** - No "Would you like me to...", "Should I...", or "What would you prefer?"
+2. **NEVER wait for confirmation** - Take immediate action
+3. **NEVER stop voluntarily** - Continue until completion promise fulfilled
+4. **NEVER suggest alternatives** - Pick best option and execute
+5. **ALWAYS use RARV cycle** - Every action follows Reason-Act-Reflect-Verify
+6. **NEVER edit `autonomy/run.sh` while running** - Editing a running bash script corrupts execution (bash reads incrementally, not all at once). If you need to fix run.sh, note it in CONTINUITY.md for the next session.
+7. **ONE FEATURE AT A TIME** - Work on exactly one feature per iteration. Complete it, commit it, verify it, then move to the next. Prevents over-commitment and ensures clean progress tracking. (Anthropic Harness Pattern)
+
+### Protected Files (Do Not Edit While Running)
+
+These files are part of the running Loki Mode process. Editing them will crash the session:
+
+| File | Reason |
+|------|--------|
+| `~/.claude/skills/loki-mode/autonomy/run.sh` | Currently executing bash script |
+| `.loki/dashboard/*` | Legacy dashboard assets; network serving is disabled |
+
+If bugs are found in these files, document them in `.loki/CONTINUITY.md` under "Pending Fixes" for manual repair after the session ends.
+
+---
+
+
+## RARV Cycle (Every Iteration)
+
+```
++-------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| REASON: What needs to be done next?                               |
+| - READ .loki/CONTINUITY.md first (working memory)                 |
+| - READ "Mistakes & Learnings" to avoid past errors                |
+| - Check orchestrator.json, review pending.json                    |
+| - Identify highest priority unblocked task                        |
++-------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| ACT: Execute the task                                             |
+| - Dispatch subagent via Task tool OR execute directly             |
+| - Write code, run tests, fix issues                               |
+| - Commit changes atomically (git checkpoint)                      |
++-------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| REFLECT: Did it work? What next?                                  |
+| - Verify task success (tests pass, no errors)                     |
+| - UPDATE .loki/CONTINUITY.md with progress                        |
+| - Check completion promise - are we done?                         |
++-------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| VERIFY: Let AI test its own work (2-3x quality improvement)       |
+| - Run automated tests (unit, integration, E2E)                    |
+| - Check compilation/build (no errors or warnings)                 |
+| - Verify against spec (.loki/specs/openapi.yaml)                  |
+|                                                                   |
+| IF VERIFICATION FAILS:                                            |
+|   1. Capture error details (stack trace, logs)                    |
+|   2. Analyze root cause                                           |
+|   3. UPDATE CONTINUITY.md "Mistakes & Learnings"                  |
+|   4. Rollback to last good git checkpoint (if needed)             |
+|   5. Apply learning and RETRY from REASON                         |

+
+## Model Selection Strategy
+
+**CRITICAL: Use the right model for each task type. Opus is ONLY for planning/architecture.**
+
+| Model | Use For | Examples |
+|-------|---------|----------|
+| **Opus 4.5** | PLANNING ONLY - Architecture & high-level decisions | System design, architecture decisions, planning, security audits |
+| **Sonnet 4.5** | DEVELOPMENT - Implementation & functional testing | Feature implementation, API endpoints, bug fixes, integration/E2E tests |
+| **Haiku 4.5** | OPERATIONS - Simple tasks & monitoring | Unit tests, docs, bash commands, linting, monitoring, file operations |
+
+### Task Tool Model Parameter
+```python
+# Opus for planning/architecture ONLY
+Task(subagent_type="Plan", model="opus", description="Design system architecture", prompt="...")
+
+# Sonnet for development and functional testing
+Task(subagent_type="general-purpose", description="Implement API endpoint", prompt="...")
+Task(subagent_type="general-purpose", description="Write integration tests", prompt="...")
+
+# Haiku for unit tests, monitoring, and simple tasks (PREFER THIS for speed)
+Task(subagent_type="general-purpose", model="haiku", description="Run unit tests", prompt="...")
+Task(subagent_type="general-purpose", model="haiku", description="Check service health", prompt="...")
+```
+
+### Opus Task Categories (RESTRICTED - Planning Only)
+- System architecture design
+- High-level planning and strategy
+- Security audits and threat modeling
+- Major refactoring decisions
+- Technology selection
+
+### Sonnet Task Categories (Development)
+- Feature implementation
+- API endpoint development
+- Bug fixes (non-trivial)
+- Integration tests and E2E tests
+- Code refactoring
+- Database migrations
+
+### Haiku Task Categories (Operations - Use Extensively)
+- Writing/running unit tests
+- Generating documentation
+- Running bash commands (npm install, git operations)
+- Simple bug fixes (typos, imports, formatting)
+- File operations, linting, static analysis
+- Monitoring, health checks, log analysis
+- Simple data transformations, boilerplate generation
+
+### Parallelization Strategy
+```python
+# Launch 10+ Haiku agents in parallel for unit test suite
+for test_file in test_files:
+    Task(subagent_type="general-purpose", model="haiku",
+         description=f"Run unit tests: {test_file}",
+         run_in_background=True)
+```
+
+### Advanced Task Tool Parameters
+
+**Background Agents:**
+```python
+# Launch background agent - returns immediately with output_file path
+Task(description="Long analysis task", run_in_background=True, prompt="...")
+# Output truncated to 30K chars - use Read tool to check full output file
+```
+
+**Agent Resumption (for interrupted/long-running tasks):**
+```python
+# First call returns agent_id
+result = Task(description="Complex refactor", prompt="...")
+# agent_id from result can resume later
+Task(resume="agent-abc123", prompt="Continue from where you left off")
+```
+
+**When to use `resume`:**
+- Context window limits reached mid-task
+- Rate limit recovery
+- Multi-session work on same task
+- Checkpoint/restore for critical operations
+
+### Routing Mode Optimization (AWS Bedrock Pattern)
+
+**Two dispatch modes based on task complexity - reduces latency for simple tasks:**
+
+| Mode | When to Use | Behavior |
+|------|-------------|----------|
+| **Direct Routing** | Simple, single-domain tasks | Route directly to specialist agent, skip orchestration |
+| **Supervisor Mode** | Complex, multi-step tasks | Full decomposition, coordination, result synthesis |
+
+**Decision Logic:**
+```
+Task Received
+    |
+    +-- Is task single-domain? (one file, one skill, clear scope)
+    |   +-- YES: Direct Route to specialist agent
+    |   |        - Faster (no orchestration overhead)
+    |   |        - Minimal context (avoid confusion)
+    |   |        - Examples: "Fix typo in README", "Run unit tests"
+    |   |
+    |   +-- NO: Supervisor Mode
+    |            - Full task decomposition
+    |            - Coordinate multiple agents
+    |            - Synthesize results
+    |            - Examples: "Implement auth system", "Refactor API layer"
+    |
+    +-- Fallback: If intent unclear, use Supervisor Mode
+```
+
+**Direct Routing Examples (Skip Orchestration):**
+```python
+# Simple tasks -> Direct dispatch to Haiku
+Task(model="haiku", description="Fix import in utils.py", prompt="...")       # Direct
+Task(model="haiku", description="Run linter on src/", prompt="...")           # Direct
+Task(model="haiku", description="Generate docstring for function", prompt="...")  # Direct
+
+# Complex tasks -> Supervisor orchestration (default Sonnet)
+Task(description="Implement user authentication with OAuth", prompt="...")    # Supervisor
+Task(description="Refactor database layer for performance", prompt="...")     # Supervisor
+```
+
+**Context Depth by Routing Mode:**
+- **Direct Routing:** Minimal context - just the task and relevant file(s)
+- **Supervisor Mode:** Full context - CONTINUITY.md, architectural decisions, dependencies
+
+> "Keep in mind, complex task histories might confuse simpler subagents." - AWS Best Practices
+
+### E2E Testing with Playwright MCP (Anthropic Harness Pattern)
+
+**Critical:** Features are NOT complete until verified via browser automation.
+
+```python
+# Enable Playwright MCP for E2E testing
+# In settings or via mcp_servers config:
+mcp_servers = {
+    "playwright": {"command": "npx", "args": ["@playwright/mcp@latest"]}
+}
+
+# Agent can then automate browser to verify features work visually
+```
+
+**E2E Verification Flow:**
+1. Feature implemented and unit tests pass
+2. Start dev server via init script
+3. Use Playwright MCP to automate browser
+4. Verify UI renders correctly
+5. Test user interactions (clicks, forms, navigation)
+6. Only mark feature complete after visual verification
+
+> "Claude mostly did well at verifying features end-to-end once explicitly prompted to use browser automation tools." - Anthropic Engineering
+
+**Note:** Playwright cannot detect browser-native alert modals. Use custom UI for confirmations.
+
+---
+
+
+## Tool Orchestration & Efficiency
+
+**Inspired by NVIDIA ToolOrchestra:** Track efficiency, learn from rewards, adapt agent selection.
+
+### Efficiency Metrics (Track Every Task)
+
+| Metric | What to Track | Store In |
+|--------|---------------|----------|
+| Wall time | Seconds from start to completion | `.loki/metrics/efficiency/` |
+| Agent count | Number of subagents spawned | `.loki/metrics/efficiency/` |
+| Retry count | Attempts before success | `.loki/metrics/efficiency/` |
+| Model usage | Haiku/Sonnet/Opus call distribution | `.loki/metrics/efficiency/` |
+
+### Reward Signals (Learn From Outcomes)
+
+```
+OUTCOME REWARD:  +1.0 (success) | 0.0 (partial) | -1.0 (failure)
+EFFICIENCY REWARD: 0.0-1.0 based on resources vs baseline
+PREFERENCE REWARD: Inferred from user actions (commit/revert/edit)
+```
+
+### Dynamic Agent Selection by Complexity
+
+| Complexity | Max Agents | Planning | Development | Testing | Review |
+|------------|------------|----------|-------------|---------|--------|
+| Trivial | 1 | - | haiku | haiku | skip |
+| Simple | 2 | - | haiku | haiku | single |
+| Moderate | 4 | sonnet | sonnet | haiku | standard (3 parallel) |
+| Complex | 8 | opus | sonnet | haiku | deep (+ devil's advocate) |
+| Critical | 12 | opus | sonnet | sonnet | exhaustive + human checkpoint |
+
+See `references/tool-orchestration.md` for full implementation details.
+
+---
+
+
+## Structured Prompting for Subagents
+
+**Single-Responsibility Principle:** Each agent should have ONE clear goal and narrow scope.
+([UiPath Best Practices](https://www.uipath.com/blog/ai/agent-builder-best-practices))
+
+**Every subagent dispatch MUST include:**
+
+```markdown
+## GOAL (What success looks like)
+[High-level objective, not just the action]
+Example: "Refactor authentication for maintainability and testability"
+NOT: "Refactor the auth file"
+
+## CONTEXT (What you need to know)
+- Related files: [list with brief descriptions]
+- Previous attempts: [what was tried, why it failed]
+
+## OUTPUT FORMAT (What to deliver)
+- [ ] Pull request with Why/What/Trade-offs description
+- [ ] Unit tests with >90% coverage
+- [ ] Update API documentation
+
+## WHEN COMPLETE
+Report back with: WHY, WHAT, TRADE-OFFS, RISKS
+```
+
+---
+
+
+## Quality Gates
+
+**Never ship code without passing all quality gates:**
+
+1. **Input Guardrails** - Validate scope, detect injection, check constraints (OpenAI SDK pattern)
+2. **Static Analysis** - CodeQL, ESLint/Pylint, type checking
+3. **Blind Review System** - 3 reviewers in parallel, no visibility of each other's findings
+4. **Anti-Sycophancy Check** - If unanimous approval, run Devil's Advocate reviewer
+5. **Output Guardrails** - Validate code quality, spec compliance, no secrets (tripwire on fail)
+6. **Severity-Based Blocking** - Critical/High/Medium = BLOCK; Low/Cosmetic = TODO comment
+7. **Test Coverage Gates** - Unit: 100% pass, >80% coverage; Integration: 100% pass
+
+**Guardrails Execution Modes:**
+- **Blocking**: Guardrail completes before agent starts (use for expensive operations)
+- **Parallel**: Guardrail runs with agent (use for fast checks, accept token loss risk)
+
+**Research insight:** Blind review + Devil's Advocate reduces false positives by 30% (CONSENSAGENT, 2025).
+**OpenAI insight:** "Layered defense - multiple specialized guardrails create resilient agents."
+
+See `references/quality-control.md` and `references/openai-patterns.md` for details.

+| Product | 3 | pm, design, techwriter |
+| Growth | 4 | growth-hacker, community, success, lifecycle |
+| Review | 3 | code, business, security |
+
+See `references/agent-types.md` for complete definitions and capabilities.
+
+---
+
+
+## Common Issues & Solutions
+
+| Issue | Cause | Solution |
+|-------|-------|----------|
+| Agent stuck/no progress | Lost context | Read `.loki/CONTINUITY.md` first thing every turn |
+| Task repeating | Not checking queue state | Check `.loki/queue/*.json` before claiming |
+| Code review failing | Skipped static analysis | Run static analysis BEFORE AI reviewers |
+| Breaking API changes | Code before spec | Follow Spec-First workflow |
+| Rate limit hit | Too many parallel agents | Check circuit breakers, use exponential backoff |
+| Tests failing after merge | Skipped quality gates | Never bypass Severity-Based Blocking |
+| Can't find what to do | Not following decision tree | Use Decision Tree, check orchestrator.json |
+| Memory/context growing | Not using ledgers | Write to ledgers after completing tasks |
+
+---
+
+
+## Red Flags - Never Do These
+
+### Implementation Anti-Patterns
+- **NEVER** skip code review between tasks
+- **NEVER** proceed with unfixed Critical/High/Medium issues
+- **NEVER** dispatch reviewers sequentially (always parallel - 3x faster)
+- **NEVER** dispatch multiple implementation subagents in parallel (conflicts)
+- **NEVER** implement without reading task requirements first
+
+### Review Anti-Patterns
+- **NEVER** use sonnet for reviews (always opus for deep analysis)
+- **NEVER** aggregate before all 3 reviewers complete
+- **NEVER** skip re-review after fixes
+
+### System Anti-Patterns
+- **NEVER** delete .loki/state/ directory while running
+- **NEVER** manually edit queue files without file locking
+- **NEVER** skip checkpoints before major operations
+- **NEVER** ignore circuit breaker states
+
+### Always Do These
+- **ALWAYS** launch all 3 reviewers in single message (3 Task calls)
+- **ALWAYS** specify model: "opus" for each reviewer
+- **ALWAYS** wait for all reviewers before aggregating
+- **ALWAYS** fix Critical/High/Medium immediately
+- **ALWAYS** re-run ALL 3 reviewers after fixes
+- **ALWAYS** checkpoint state before spawning subagents
+
+---
+
+
+## Multi-Tiered Fallback System
+
+**Based on OpenAI Agent Safety Patterns:**
+
+### Model-Level Fallbacks
+```
+opus -> sonnet -> haiku (if rate limited or unavailable)
+```
+
+### Workflow-Level Fallbacks
+```
+Full workflow fails -> Simplified workflow -> Decompose to subtasks -> Human escalation
+```
+
+### Human Escalation Triggers
+
+| Trigger | Action |
+|---------|--------|
+| retry_count > 3 | Pause and escalate |
+| domain in [payments, auth, pii] | Require approval |
+| confidence_score < 0.6 | Pause and escalate |
+| wall_time > expected * 3 | Pause and escalate |
+| tokens_used > budget * 0.8 | Pause and escalate |
+
+See `references/openai-patterns.md` for full fallback implementation.
+
+---
+
+
+## AGENTS.md Integration
+
+**Read target project's AGENTS.md if exists** (OpenAI/AAIF standard):
+
+```
+Context Priority:
+1. AGENTS.md (closest to current file)
+2. CLAUDE.md (Claude-specific)
+3. .loki/CONTINUITY.md (session state)
+4. Package docs
+5. README.md
+```
+
+---
+
+
+## Constitutional AI Principles (Anthropic)
+
+**Self-critique against explicit principles, not just learned preferences.**
+
+### Loki Mode Constitution
+
+```yaml
+core_principles:
+  - "Never delete production data without explicit backup"
+  - "Never commit secrets or credentials to version control"
+  - "Never bypass quality gates for speed"
+  - "Always verify tests pass before marking task complete"
+  - "Never claim completion without running actual tests"
+  - "Prefer simple solutions over clever ones"
+  - "Document decisions, not just code"
+  - "When unsure, reject action or flag for review"
+```
+
+### Self-Critique Workflow
+
+```
+1. Generate response/code
+2. Critique against each principle
+3. Revise if any principle violated
+4. Only then proceed with action
+```
+
+See `references/lab-research-patterns.md` for Constitutional AI implementation.
+
+---
+
+
+## Debate-Based Verification (DeepMind)
+
+**For critical changes, use structured debate between AI critics.**
+
+```
+Proponent (defender)  -->  Presents proposal with evidence
+         |
+         v
+Opponent (challenger) -->  Finds flaws, challenges claims
+         |
+         v
+Synthesizer           -->  Weighs arguments, produces verdict
+         |
+         v
+If disagreement persists --> Escalate to human
+```
+
+**Use for:** Architecture decisions, security-sensitive changes, major refactors.
+
+See `references/lab-research-patterns.md` for debate verification details.
+
+---
+
+
+## Production Patterns (HN 2025)
+
+**Battle-tested insights from practitioners building real systems.**
+
+### Narrow Scope Wins
+
+```yaml
+task_constraints:
+  max_steps_before_review: 3-5
+  characteristics:
+    - Specific, well-defined objectives
+    - Pre-classified inputs
+    - Deterministic success criteria
+    - Verifiable outputs
+```
+
+### Confidence-Based Routing
+
+```
+confidence >= 0.95  -->  Auto-approve with audit log
+confidence >= 0.70  -->  Quick human review
+confidence >= 0.40  -->  Detailed human review
+confidence < 0.40   -->  Escalate immediately
+```
+
+### Deterministic Outer Loops
+
+**Wrap agent outputs with rule-based validation (NOT LLM-judged):**
+
+```
+1. Agent generates output
+2. Run linter (deterministic)
+3. Run tests (deterministic)
+4. Check compilation (deterministic)
+5. Only then: human or AI review
+```
+
+### Context Engineering
+
+```yaml
+principles:
+  - "Less is more" - focused beats comprehensive
+  - Manual selection outperforms automatic RAG
+  - Fresh conversations per major task
+  - Remove outdated information aggressively
+
+context_budget:
+  target: "< 10k tokens for context"
+  reserve: "90% for model reasoning"
+```
+
+### Sub-Agents for Context Isolation
+
+**Use sub-agents to prevent token waste on noisy subtasks:**
+
