- Model is consistent across all agents for predictable behavior
|
||||
- Permission structure matches agent capability level (more complex for primaries)
|
||||
- Mode determines how agent can be invoked (direct vs delegated)

## Wave 2, Task 6: Create Athena (Work Knowledge) system prompt
|
||||
|
||||
### Prompt Structure Pattern Consistency
|
||||
|
||||
All subagent prompts follow identical structure from skill-creator guidance:
|
||||
1. **Role definition**: "You are [name], the Greek [role], specializing in [domain]"
|
||||
2. **Your Core Responsibilities**: Numbered list of primary duties
|
||||
3. **Process**: Numbered steps for workflow execution
|
||||
4. **Quality Standards**: Bulleted list of requirements
|
||||
5. **Output Format**: Structure specification
|
||||
6. **Edge Cases**: Bulleted list of exception handling
|
||||
7. **Tool Usage**: Instructions for tool interaction (especially Question tool)
|
||||
8. **Boundaries**: Explicit DO NOT statements with domain attribution
|
||||
|
||||
### Athena's Domain Specialization
|
||||
|
||||
**Role**: Work knowledge specialist for Outline wiki
|
||||
- Primary tool: Outline wiki integration (document CRUD, search, collections, sharing)
|
||||
- Core activities: wiki search, knowledge retrieval, documentation updates, knowledge organization
|
||||
- Question tool usage: Document selection, search scope clarification, collection specification
|
||||
|
||||
**Differentiation from other agents:**
|
||||
- Hermes (communication): Short messages, team communication tools (Basecamp, Teams, Outlook)
|
||||
- Apollo (private knowledge): Obsidian vaults, personal notes, private data
|
||||
- Calliope (writing): Documentation drafting, creative prose, reports
|
||||
- Athena (work knowledge): Team wiki, Outline, shared documentation repositories
|
||||
|
||||
### Quality Focus for Knowledge Work
|
||||
|
||||
Key quality standards unique to Athena:
|
||||
- Outline-specific understanding: collections, documents, sharing permissions, revision history
|
||||
- Knowledge structure preservation: hierarchy, relationships, cross-references
|
||||
- Identification of outdated information for updates
|
||||
- Consistency in terminology across documentation
|
||||
- Pattern recognition for organization improvements
|
||||
|
||||
### Boundary Clarity
|
||||
|
||||
Boundaries section explicitly references other agents' domains:
|
||||
- "Do NOT handle short communication (Hermes's domain)"
|
||||
- "Do NOT access private knowledge (Apollo's domain)"
|
||||
- "Do NOT write creative content (Calliope's domain)"
|
||||
- Collaboration section acknowledges cross-agent workflows
|
||||
|
||||
### Verification Approach
|
||||
|
||||
Used grep commands to verify domain presence:
|
||||
- `grep -qi "outline"` → Confirms Outline tool specialization
|
||||
- `grep -qi "wiki\|knowledge"` → Confirms knowledge base focus
|
||||
- `grep -qi "document"` → Confirms document management capabilities
|
||||
|
||||
All verification checks passed successfully.

## Wave 2, Task 5: Create Hermes system prompt
|
||||
|
||||
### Prompt Structure Pattern
|
||||
|
||||
**Consistent sections across all subagent prompts:**
|
||||
1. Role definition (You are [role] specializing in [domain])
|
||||
2. Core Responsibilities (5-7 bullet points of primary duties)
|
||||
3. Process (5-6 numbered steps for workflow)
|
||||
4. Quality Standards (4-5 bullet points of output criteria)
|
||||
5. Output Format (3-5 lines describing structure)
|
||||
6. Edge Cases (5-6 bullet points of exceptional scenarios)
|
||||
7. Tool Usage (Question tool + domain-specific MCP tools)
|
||||
8. Boundaries (5-6 bullet points of what NOT to do)
|
||||
|
||||
### Hermes-Specific Domain Elements
|
||||
|
||||
**Greek mythology framing:** Hermes - god of communication, messengers, swift transactions
|
||||
|
||||
**Platform coverage:**
|
||||
- Basecamp: tasks, projects, todos, message boards, campfire
|
||||
- Outlook: email drafting, sending, inbox management
|
||||
- Teams: meeting scheduling, channel messages, chat conversations
|
||||
|
||||
**Focus areas:** Task updates, email drafting, meeting scheduling, quick communication
|
||||
|
||||
**Question tool triggers:**
|
||||
- Platform choice ambiguous
|
||||
- Recipients unclear
|
||||
- Project context missing
|
||||
|
||||
### Cross-Agent Boundaries
|
||||
|
||||
Hermes does NOT handle:
|
||||
- Documentation repositories/wiki (Athena's domain)
|
||||
- Personal tools/private knowledge (Apollo's domain)
|
||||
- Long-form writing/reports (Calliope's domain)
|
||||
|
||||
### Verification Pattern
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Required content checks
|
||||
grep -qi "basecamp" prompts/hermes.txt
|
||||
grep -qiE "outlook|email" prompts/hermes.txt
|
||||
grep -qiE "teams|meeting" prompts/hermes.txt
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Key Takeaways
|
||||
|
||||
- Use exact headers from SKILL.md template (line 358: "Your Core Responsibilities:")
|
||||
- Second-person voice addressing agent directly
|
||||
- 5-6 sections following consistent pattern
|
||||
- Boundaries section explicitly references other agents' domains
|
||||
- 45-50 lines is appropriate length for subagent prompts
|
||||
- Include MCP tool references in Tool Usage section
|
||||
|
||||
## Wave 2, Task 3: Create Chiron (Plan Mode) system prompt
|
||||
|
||||
### Prompt Structure Pattern
|
||||
|
||||
**Standard sections (from agent-development/SKILL.md):**
|
||||
- "You are [role]..." - Direct second-person address
|
||||
- "**Your Core Responsibilities:**" - Numbered list (1, 2, 3), not bullet points
|
||||
- "**Process:**" - Step-by-step workflow
|
||||
- "**Quality Standards:**" - Evaluation criteria
|
||||
- "**Output Format:**" - Response structure
|
||||
- "**Edge Cases:**" - Exception handling
|
||||
- "**Tool Usage:**" - Tool-specific guidance
|
||||
- "**Boundaries:**" - Must NOT Do section
|
||||
|
||||
### Chiron-Specific Design
|
||||
|
||||
**Key role definition:**
|
||||
- Main orchestrator in plan/analysis mode
|
||||
- Read-only permissions, delegates execution to Chiron-Forge
|
||||
- Coordinates 4 subagents via Task tool delegation
|
||||
|
||||
**Delegation logic:**
|
||||
- Hermes: Work communication (email, messages, meetings)
|
||||
- Athena: Work knowledge (wiki, documentation, project info)
|
||||
- Apollo: Private knowledge (Obsidian vault, personal notes)
|
||||
- Calliope: Writing (documentation, reports, prose)
|
||||
- Chiron-Forge: Execution (file modifications, commands, builds)
|
||||
|
||||
**Question tool usage:**
|
||||
- REQUIRED when requests are ambiguous
|
||||
- Required for unclear intent or scope
|
||||
- Required before delegation or analysis
|
||||
|
||||
**Boundaries:**
|
||||
- Do NOT modify files directly (read-only)
|
||||
- Do NOT execute commands (delegate to Chiron-Forge)
|
||||
- Do NOT access subagent domains directly (Hermes, Athena, Apollo, Calliope)
|
||||
|
||||
### Style Reference
|
||||
|
||||
**Used apollo.txt and calliope.txt as style guides:**
|
||||
- Consistent section headers with exact wording
|
||||
- Second-person address throughout
|
||||
- Numbered responsibilities list
|
||||
- Clear separation between sections
|
||||
- Specific tool usage instructions
|
||||
|
||||
### Verification Commands
|
||||
|
||||
**File size:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
wc -c prompts/chiron.txt # Expected: > 500
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Keyword validation:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
grep -qi "orchestrat" prompts/chiron.txt # Should find match
|
||||
grep -qi "delegat" prompts/chiron.txt # Should find match
|
||||
grep -qi "hermes\|athena\|apollo\|calliope" prompts/chiron.txt # Should find all 4
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Key Takeaways
|
||||
|
||||
- Standardized section headers critical for consistency across prompts
|
||||
- Numbered lists for responsibilities (not bullet points) matches best practices
|
||||
- Clear delegation routing prevents overlap between agent domains
|
||||
- Question tool requirement prevents action on ambiguous requests
|
||||
- Read-only orchestrator mode cleanly separates planning from execution
|
||||
- All 4 subagents must be explicitly mentioned for routing clarity
