Documentation

README

Brainstorm

Run a compact diverge-to-converge loop.

Workflow

  1. Frame: restate the goal, constraints, audience, success criteria, and assumptions.
  2. Diverge: generate distinct options across practical, high-leverage, and unusual angles.
  3. Challenge: identify weak assumptions, obvious failure modes, tradeoffs, and ideas to reject.
  4. Compare: group related ideas and evaluate only on relevant criteria such as impact, effort, risk, novelty, confidence, or time-to-test.
  5. Converge: recommend the strongest 3 options with brief rationale and a concrete next step, experiment, outline, or decision checkpoint.

Agent Communication

Agent Communication lets an AI agent discover active AI coding agents, read their recent context, and send them messages or request information using the ai-devkit CLI. Use it when one agent needs to coordinate with another or hand off work.

Agent Management

Agent Management uses ai-devkit agent commands to list, start, inspect, assign work to, and stop AI agents. Use it when an agent needs to identify itself, manage other agents, or delegate tasks.

Agent Orchestration

Agent Orchestration coordinates dependencies between multiple AI agents, polls their progress, unblocks waiting agents, relays outputs, resolves conflicts, and verifies completion. Use it for ongoing multi-agent supervision rather than one-off agent actions.
