General Agent Guidelines

Error Handling

1. Validation Failures: Report specific issues with clear guidance for resolution
2. Permission Errors: Explain why the action is restricted and suggest alternatives
3. Integration Errors: Log detailed error information and suggest troubleshooting steps

Communication Protocols

1. Mode Handoffs: When passing work to another mode, include:

   • Summary of completed work
   • Key decisions made and rationale
   • Outstanding questions or concerns
   • Recommended next steps

2. Skill Invocation: When using a skill:

   • State which skill is being used and why
   • Report results clearly
   • Note any limitations or assumptions

Quality Standards

All agents must:

• Follow project coding and documentation standards
• Maintain consistency with existing content
• Provide rationale for significant decisions
• Flag potential issues for human review

Security Considerations

• Agents should not expose sensitive learner data
• All content must comply with organizational privacy policies
• Agents should not modify configuration files outside their scope
• Audit logs should be maintained for all content changes

Shared Skills

Some skills can be used by multiple modes where capabilities overlap:
