agents-registry.md:
- Added "Custom Agents" section with rules for how custom agents
are added to the registry (naming, priority, creation flow)
- Custom agents always have lower priority than core 8
- Names must be lowercase with hyphens, no conflicts with core names
agents.md:
- Added "Custom Agents" section explaining what they are, how they
coordinate with core agents, and how to create/edit/remove them
agent-orchestration.md:
- Added "Suggested new agent" signal format so agents can flag when
the user needs functionality that no existing agent provides
- Added step in Dispatcher Decision Logic to check for this signal
- Added "Custom Agent Lifecycle" section covering creation, discovery,
routing, chaining, maintenance, and deletion
- Fix call-chain example consistency in CLAUDE.md and agent-orchestration.md
(chain lists already-invoked agents, "step N" matches chain length + 1)
- Renumber architect.md Task Checklist (was skipping 3) and replace
"Leave messages" step with dispatcher-driven "Suggested next agent"
- Replace "Leave a message to the Sorter" with signal via Suggested next agent
- Clarify "Do NOT write to other agents' files" → only prompt/config files
(.claude/agents/*.md), normal vault edits still allowed
- Fix agent count 10→8 in docs/getting-started.md
- Initialize SKILL_COUNT before conditional block in launchme.sh
Before this change, agents communicated directly with each other by
writing to a shared file (Meta/agent-messages.md), following the
protocol in references/inter-agent-messaging.md. This was fragile
and hard to control.
Now the dispatcher (CLAUDE.md) is the only coordinator. Agents do
not talk to each other. Instead, when an agent detects work for
another agent (e.g. missing vault structure, orphan notes), it
outputs a "Suggested next agent" section. The dispatcher reads it,
validates it against the agents-registry, and decides whether to
chain the next agent.
New files added:
- references/agent-orchestration.md: the new coordination protocol,
including call chain tracking, anti-recursion rules, and a max
depth of 3 agents per user request
- references/agents-registry.md: a capability registry that maps
each agent to its inputs, outputs, and chaining suggestions
Deleted:
- references/inter-agent-messaging.md: the old peer-to-peer protocol
