- Added all 6 agents: chiron, chiron-forge, hermes, athena, apollo, calliope
- Primary agents (2): chiron (Plan Mode), chiron-forge (Build Mode)
- Subagents (4): hermes (communications), athena (work knowledge), apollo (private knowledge), calliope (writing)
- All agents use model: zai-coding-plan/glm-4.7
- Prompt references use file pattern: {file:./prompts/<name>.txt}
- Permission structure: primaries have external_directory rules, subagents have simple question: allow
- Verified with Python JSON validation (6 agents, correct names)
- Documented patterns and learnings in notepad

# Learnings - Chiron Agent Framework
|
|
|
|
## Wave 1, Task 1: Create agents.json with 6 agent definitions
|
|
|
|
### Agent Structure Pattern
|
|
|
|
**Required fields per agent:**
|
|
- `description`: Clear purpose statement
|
|
- `mode`: "primary" for orchestrators, "subagent" for specialists
|
|
- `model`: "zai-coding-plan/glm-4.7" (consistent across all agents)
|
|
- `prompt`: File reference pattern `{file:./prompts/<name>.txt}`
|
|
- `permission`: Either explicit permissions or simple "question": "allow"
|
|
|
|
### Primary vs Subagent Modes
|
|
|
|
**Primary agents** (2): chiron, chiron-forge
|
|
- Can be invoked directly by user
|
|
- Orchestrate and delegate work
|
|
- Higher permission levels (external_directory rules)
|
|
|
|
**Subagents** (4): hermes, athena, apollo, calliope
|
|
- Invoked by primary agents via Task tool
|
|
- Specialized single-purpose workflows
|
|
- Simpler permission structure (question: "allow")
|
|
|
|
### Permission Patterns
|
|
|
|
**Primary agents**: Complex permission structure
|
|
```json
|
|
"permission": {
|
|
"external_directory": {
|
|
"~/p/**": "allow",
|
|
"*": "ask"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Subagents**: Simple permission structure
|
|
```json
|
|
"permission": {
|
|
"question": "allow"
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Agent Domains
|
|
|
|
1. **chiron**: Plan Mode - Read-only analysis and planning
|
|
2. **chiron-forge**: Build Mode - Full execution with safety prompts
|
|
3. **hermes**: Work communication (Basecamp, Outlook, Teams)
|
|
4. **athena**: Work knowledge (Outline wiki, documentation)
|
|
5. **apollo**: Private knowledge (Obsidian vault, personal notes)
|
|
6. **calliope**: Writing (documentation, reports, prose)
|
|
|
|
### Verification Commands
|
|
|
|
**Agent count:**
|
|
```bash
|
|
python3 -c "import json; data = json.load(open('agents/agents.json')); print(len(data))"
|
|
# Expected output: 6
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Agent names:**
|
|
```bash
|
|
python3 -c "import json; data = json.load(open('agents/agents.json')); print(sorted(data.keys()))"
|
|
# Expected output: ['apollo', 'athena', 'calliope', 'chiron', 'chiron-forge', 'hermes']
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Key Takeaways
|
|
|
|
- Prompt files use file references, not inline content (Wave 2 will create these)
|
|
- 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)
