Each agent now has a "When to suggest a new agent" subsection inside
its Inter-Agent Coordination block. When an agent detects that the
user needs functionality that no existing agent can handle, it
outputs a "Suggested new agent" section with:
- Need: what capability is missing
- Reason: why no existing agent covers it
- Suggested role: what the new agent would do
The dispatcher reads this and asks the user if they want the
Architect to create a custom agent for the detected need.
Agents are also told when NOT to suggest a new agent (existing
agent can handle it, one-off task, outside vault scope).
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.
