+"""Execution strategies for agent composition patterns.
+
+This module implements the 7 grammar rules for composing agents:
+1. Sequential (A → B → C)
+2. Parallel (A || B || C)
+3. Debate (A ⇄ B ⇄ C → Synthesis)
+4. Teaching (Junior → Expert validation)
+5. Refinement (Draft → Review → Polish)
+6. Adaptive (Classifier → Specialist)
+7. Conditional (if X then A else B) - branching based on gates
+
+Security:
+    - All agent outputs validated before passing to next agent
+    - No eval() or exec() usage
+    - Timeout enforcement at strategy level
+    - Condition predicates validated (no code execution)
+
+Example:
+    >>> strategy = SequentialStrategy()
+    >>> agents = [agent1, agent2, agent3]
+    >>> result = await strategy.execute(agents, context)
+
+    >>> # Conditional branching example
+    >>> cond_strategy = ConditionalStrategy(
+    ...     condition=Condition(predicate={"confidence": {"$lt": 0.8}}),
+    ...     then_branch=expert_agents,
+    ...     else_branch=fast_agents
+    ... )
+    >>> result = await cond_strategy.execute([], context)
