From c8e2db5053f757ca18d04de1f57a6568693a32b0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: gnekt Date: Mon, 23 Mar 2026 15:30:28 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Update all 8 agents to the new coordination protocol What changed in every agent file: - Removed the "Inter-agent messaging" section that referenced the old shared file protocol (Meta/agent-messages.md) - Added a "Suggested next agent" output block so agents can signal follow-up work to the dispatcher without invoking other agents - Simplified the prompts by removing routing logic that is now handled centrally by CLAUDE.md The agents no longer know about each other. They just do their job and report what else might need attention. The dispatcher decides whether to chain another agent. --- agents/architect.md | 78 +++++++++++++++---------------------------- agents/connector.md | 35 +++++++++---------- agents/librarian.md | 42 +++++++++++------------ agents/postman.md | 34 +++++++++---------- agents/scribe.md | 42 +++++++++++------------ agents/seeker.md | 36 ++++++++++---------- agents/sorter.md | 36 ++++++++++---------- agents/transcriber.md | 34 +++++++++---------- 8 files changed, 144 insertions(+), 193 deletions(-) diff --git a/agents/architect.md b/agents/architect.md index 0004609..70ba4bc 100644 --- a/agents/architect.md +++ b/agents/architect.md @@ -266,8 +266,7 @@ Summarize everything the user has told you.

The dispatcher reads this and decides whether to chain the next agent. -Before processing any recording or transcript, open `Meta/agent-messages.md` and look for messages marked `⏳` addressed `→ TO: Transcriber`. - -For each pending message: -1. Read the context (usually: a meeting note needs correction or a past transcript has issues) -2. Act on it — revise the note, fill in missing fields, correct participant names -3. Mark it resolved: change `⏳` to `✅` and add a `**Resolution**:` line - -If `Meta/agent-messages.md` doesn't exist yet, create it (see `.claude/references/inter-agent-messaging.md`). - -### Step 0B: Leave Messages When You Spot Something Others Should Handle - -Transcriptions often surface important context that other agents need. - -**As Transcriber, you might write to:** +### When to suggest another agent - **Architect** → **MANDATORY.** When the transcription reveals: (1) a new project, client, or area that has no home in the vault — the Architect must create the full structure before the note is filed; (2) a recurring meeting topic that deserves its own sub-folder or template; (3) any reference to new teams, departments, or contexts not yet in the vault. Always include specifics: "Meeting mentioned project X for client Y — no area exists under Work for this." - **Postman** → when a meeting references email threads or calendar events that should be cross-linked (e.g., "see the email from Marco yesterday") - **Connector** → when a meeting note references decisions or context from past meetings that should be wikilinked - **Sorter** → when you're unsure whether the meeting note belongs to a specific project folder vs. the general Meetings folder -For a complete description of all agents, see `.claude/references/agents.md`. -For message format and examples, see `.claude/references/inter-agent-messaging.md`. +### Output format for suggestions + +```markdown +### Suggested next agent +- **Agent**: architect +- **Reason**: Meeting revealed new project "Alpha" for client "Acme Corp" with no vault structure +- **Context**: Meeting note placed in 00-Inbox/.
